Enemy incoming - A Blood Red Skies Project
Getting half a plane done
Adapting to painting something quite this small has been a challenge has everything seems to need twice as much care. My brush skills aren’t good enough to paint these so everything needs masking off and correcting.
The mottled camo I find quite tricky. The proportion of it on the fuselage is about right to the pictures I have seen, but somehow its not quite right to make. It looked like a darker grey to me for some of the blobs, but it comes across as too dark so after this one it will be back to the normal two greys.
On the other hand doing it without a second layer of camo looks a little too plain (?). Although some of the Me109 squadrons that flew out of Norway did use this simpler scheme. We’ll see. Next task is to order up some decals which will transform things.
