Ditto on that. Looking forward to seeing how you tackle this Luft 46 paint job Les.

You are a master with that airbrush
Thank you Luiz and Ian.
Ian,
This design is not very pretty and at some angles is downright ugly but at least it was fast.
The painting of the camouflage pattern is finished, for those that know the Me P1106 well will instantly recognize I painted my model in the factory Type 2 full defensive scheme with RLM 82 and RLM 83 topside colors, this was airbrushed on free-handed using Xtracolor enamels.
After the paint is fully dry I can do some masking and paint the aft end of the exhaust nozzle with Model Master Jet Exhaust.

Looks like a fishin' lure right now.

Thanks!
The 'fishing lure' has had the topside colors faded slightly with some precise airbrushing using lighter versions of paint. The glossy Xtracolor paints I used make it hard to see what I did but this needed to be kept very subtle, the flat clear coat should even things out and make the weathering look more natural.

Thanks for the comments guys!
No teeth for this model, my line of thinking for this model is the Germans were able to hold off the Allies just long enough to produce some advanced jet fighters, thus camouflage was still badly needed while the aircraft were on the ground being refueled or serviced.
Right now I am putting the landing gear on this model and when that's done it will get the gloss clear coat and then decals.
