My first attempt at ‘effects and techniques’ BF109 Airfix 1:32

[View:/themes/fsm/utility/Photobucket:550:0]

What techniques were you attempting on this build?

I have no knowledge of techniques to the degree you old hands know. In fact I’ve not done a kit since I was 15 years old, a long long time ago. Even back then I knew nothing of spraying, weathering etc…

As a result everything is trail and error and humble enough to know when something hasn’t worked and listen to constructive critiscm.

Ok, that said.

This came out, and I am very pleased with the finish,as a result of laying a primer coat, white enamel,a splinter cam pattern and then covering whilst still tacky, in desert yellow. This led to a cracked paint effect whether I wanted it to or not.

i like it .

Hard to really gauge by the picture clarity but the color shade seems about right. Bumpy runway there.
