:) and cold water in Canada is not the same with cold water in South Africa.

Hairspray chipping technique will work on any dry painted surface. What is needed is that the second coat, after the hairspray, to be waterbased acryllic paint. Before it will cures completely water (better warm water) will break the surface and get to the haurspray that is more soluble than...

As a rule of thumb, you never brush a coat of paint with the same or powerfull solvent on a previous coat of fresh paint. Most paints are hardening by loosing the solvent (which evaporates) and just a few by chemical polimerisation. Althought it will look dry, the process of drying may take a...

I don't think it was. I have no ideea what happened with it.

That 109 had, as you see in the picture, an Erla Haube, probably after a Werft repair. The flag on the fuselage was hastly painted for just one mission, in which Major James Dunn was squezed in the fuselage, after radio equipment removal and Cpt. (prince) Constantin "Bâzu" Cantacuzino took him...

Alex Smart, there are other Bf109 with interesting artworks. 53 squadron, Group 7 (Grupul 7 vânătoare, Escadrila 53) fighters for example had a Mikey Mouse with a lance on a brown horse, just in front of the air intake, on the left side of the nose. They had it also on their previous IAR fighters.

It's amazing what you did with this model. It's not just beautyfull and agressive, but also logical - the rlm66 for the canopy and 2 tone cammo acording to the trend at the time. I alsonfid this a long time ago, but acted very timid, settling just for kit variants.

Artesh, you say you live in Iran. I belive there is plenty of diorama materials for free there. If you want to make a runaway you can use sandpaper of maybe 400 grit grade. You can find dust and rocks and fine sand everywhere. You can make little trees from fine bush branches. Finding and...

Maybe it refers to some Lufthansa flying boats pressed in Luftwaffe service. For example Do26 had yellow upperside wings in Lufthansa yellow that was very close to RLM04. The rest of the structure being painted in RLM63.

Not to talk about AA which was expecting anything at every level, especially around Ploiesti. The starting base was not a problem in itself. Later in the war the alies used the so caled "shuttle bombing", taking off from Foggia, bombing Bucharest and Ploiesti and then continuing to an airfield...

And pretty rare. Thanks! The mold is not so glorious but for a hydro junkie...
