Hello again,

Progress has been a Little slow, simply no time. Still I got some work done.

This is the final assembly, masking and primer coating in place:

This is the first layer of the camo (Verde Mimetico 3)

Now the second layer (Giallo Mimetico 2)

and this is what is coming up when I have time (Marrone Mimetico 2)

Hope you like.

Cheers everyone,

Alex

You know with the brush painting you're getting a great fade effect that we struggle with an airbrush. Interesting...

Coming along nicely Alex! That is a rather large 1/72 scale plane with a LOT of little squiggles to paint. While I like Italian WW2 cammo, it can be a bear to paint and you are doing a nice job!

You are quite right. Interestingly enough, I hadn't seen this effect before, when I was using enamels. Now with the acrylics I can see it too. Well, that is an added Bonus!


Paul, I simply love doing These complicated Italian cammos. It helps quench my Frustration for not being able to get those wonderful airbrush effects I so admire in your work.

I finished the third layer and it Looks... well... interesting! Actually I am very pleased.

Now I will get the decals and the weathering on. Perhaps not my best but still getting better.

Cheers

Alex

While I've been following along, I haven't been replying much. Still, I do love what you've done here. I have built a number of Italian bombers and I also love painting these squiggly dot patterns too. Don't feel bad if nobody replies right away. I've had a number of posts that hadn't seen replies for days so when everyone has a chance, they'll express their appreciation.

Looking forward to seeing the decals on this.

Thanks a lot guys!

This one took a Long time to get ready. But here it is, final with decals and weathering. Not as good as I wanted but again lots of practice and a very cool camo IMHO. Shame that the mechanics inside do not get to be seen as I wanted but hey, it's all fun.

Now on to grayer pastures in the Wesendorf field - a brand new Bf.109G-6 in Italian camo.

Cheers

Alex
