Nice work mate, like the mottling without airbrush usage and the nice straight canopy lines. Always found that hard to do until I bought an AB. I might start my Hasegawa Bf 109G-2 kit soon as well. Did you use any aftermarket on this one?

I like that, and it goes to show that you can achieve great results without the use of a AB. Nice one.

Thanks for the comments all, been a bit of a slow one and the picture seems to show up everything I'm not that happy with, such as the smoke staining above the cannon and the canopy looks a different colour, even though when you look at the model it's the same, grrr!

No aftermarket other than ez line for the aerial, as it's a 99p job and although I considered brass replacement for the cannon & pitot I realised the money would be better spent elsewhere (Tamiya Zero!). Canopy lines are just a steady hand and a long paint brush. Mottling was done with cotton buds, with a small amount of paint dabbed on, I tried sponge, chopped brushes and home made stencils and this was the one that seemed to work.
