j ferguson Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Maybe none of you is old enough to remember the 1/48 ME-109 sold be Aurora in the early '50s. It was molded in red polystyrene and had a clear plastic stand in lieu of landing gear. The swastika was in a white circle, and later references to the kit suggested that it was a V14, which apparently was painted red. You'd have to be REALLY ambitious to make a plausible plane from that kit. dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to get some weathering done. Did a panel line wash that didn't quite work out. Did my own mix that i've done many times before, but didn't use enough soap. had to use Tamiya ultra fine abrasives to remove. On the plus side it did polish the paint really smooth.
