Eduard Bf109E-7 Trop. -- Completed 6/8

[wing_nut]

Modeling time has been reduced to those mornings I wake up earlier than planned so progress is painfully slow. This is where I made it to this morning and will have more time this afternoon.

Not good a free handing shapes by looking at a picture so I improvised. I scanned the instructions profile and rubbed into black pastel on the back. The splotches were traced with a crochet hook leaving the faint imprint that I was able to follow.

If you haven’t; tried Mr. pant… don’t. Unless you’re ready to buy the bulk of the line. 😉 Brotha let me tell ya…. I love that MRP. That’s the hardest friend edge I have EVER gotten with any airbrush. That stuff is the poo.

Beautiful work on the camo.

[wing_nut]

Thanks fellas. Now if I could only get past this point

Number 4 in my desert campaign. And unless there was a desert F4U-1A, the streak will be broken. Stuff I am happy with and stuff I am not happy with so have at. 1 of the things I am happy with the way it turned out is the homemade decal for the air cleaner.

Beautiful work

[wing_nut]

Thanks Anthony

I like the operational used weathering. It hasn't been "ridden hard and put away wet". Well executed my good man.

[wing_nut]

Much appreciated Dave.

[Leon]

Another great finish Marc!

[wing_nut]

Thanks Leon

It's been a good run but couldn't last forever...the Corsair could extend the streak if you went with one of the French examples used in Algeria post-war...but that would be somewhat of a sand dune too far perhaps.

[Rick]

Beautifully done!

[wing_nut]

Bill, Rick... thanks guys.

No Bill, I think it's time to try and get the sand outta my shoes.
