Excellent camouflage and mottling!

Thanks guys!

I’ve been posting in the 1942 GB the few updates I’ve had and wanted to give an update here too.

Took a long time, a lot of mistakes and some fustration but I was able to get the insignia crosses masked and painted using Maketar masks. I’m fairly happy with the results (the fulesage crosses sit a little low) and learned a lot from doing it. I do wish they were cut out a little more cleanly from the manufacturer as they tended to leave a ragged edge but that can be fixed by running a sharp knife along the cut lines. Luckily weathering can hide quite a bit

I need to repaint the right wing RLM 74/75 and touch up the left a little then on to decals!

Thanks for looking!
