LSP_Kevin Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 That's some skilled airbrushing in my view, Tolga. Well done! Kev Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be some additions and corrections. But right now I'm not sure if I can come up with anything better than this. Your comments are important. Is it acceptable as it is? If you are not "skilled" at squiggles then there is no hope for any of us. Your work is exceptional! Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 It looks like the artwork to me Tolga. Like Andy said, it will look better after markings and weathering. Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greif8 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I think the squiggles look quite nice Tolga. I agree with Kevin that you are skilled with an airbrush; it is tough to get the density the same and to avoid making the squiggles too fat or too thin on the ends of them, but you did so brilliantly.

amurray Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 One must remember that those applying the paint jobs on these aircraft in WWII were the equivalent of high school dropouts. Desert camo (not the norm in the dark forests of Germany) were applied on the fly to match the local pilots' and intelligence officers' view of local camo. They applied paint of varying quality under trying circumstances of extreme heat and dry humidity, not to mention the occasional bullets flying around their heads. They were effective in doing so but not many were college art majors. And when all else fails there is the modelers' refrain of "artistic license." You're doing great!

Jboldt007 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 the squiggles look great! Steady on! Desert camos are the best. The first model i ever built was 1/72 BF-110 in the 1970s. My dad built a spitfire in 1/48 (my mom went to the store to get the kits and had no idea of scale). I felt disappointed that the spitfire was so big compare to the 110. He had to explain scale to me. But never built one since but the Revell kit is a must do as I love the plane despite its (often unfair) criticisms. The cockpit looks awesome. I love the Quinta stuff. No problem with that as they are easy to use and would never get there with decals or painting otherwise. Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
