This is a resurrection of a build I started well over 10y/o. Its Italeri Bf-110 D3, 1:72 scale. I'm not sure what I've done with the U/carriage and how those masks will come off, if at all. I recall this was my first experience of using PE as well.

WiP: Bf109 Mottling started. Sketched out mottles with heavily thinned paint. Looking very scrappy at the moment but hopefully will smarten up in due course as more coats are added.

WiP on the bf109s. Adding more layers of thin paint and trying to introduce some total differences. The tropical 109 has been semi-glossed ready for the application of the bottling. The Bulgarian 109 is slow, Green has been tough to get variations.

Slow progress, as typical for me, here's some minor progress updates on the Bf109's on my bench:

Since I had two started Bf109E's knocking about, thought it high time to Completed them. I plan to hand-paint in north africa black 8 as well as the Royal Bulgarian scheme.

Presenting Airfix's FW190 1:72 scale. This is a starter kit, but painted with lifecolors. The modelling has been a longtime shelf lingerer and it's nice to finish it off. I managed to break off all the guns and pitot tube. Replaced with brass tubing.

Airfix 1:72 Bf109G-9. This has been lying around collecting dust for a good while. I'm brushing painting the model and attempting mottled plus some fading etc. It's certainly a challenge! But brush painting gloss coat is super tough!

Progress on the Suzuki has been on hold due me losing the front wheel fairing. #Italeri parts department came up good with the component and decal sheet. I cam finally move forward with completing the build.

WiP continuation of Italeri's Barry Sheene's Suzuki RG500.
Not as shiny as I was hoping to achieve. I might risk a very gentle (4000grit micromesh) sand-down and re-gloss.
