I was looking at the first coat that I sprayed on last night and I realized I made a mistake. I forgot to mask the engine exhaust. Oh well that is fixable. I will just masked around it at the end of the model and repaint it with brush. It is just a small part.

Sorry for the delay in the pics guys. I kind of screwed up my model but it is fixable. I mixed the paint to get the right colors but it did not look right once it dried. So I have painted another base coat over it and looked at some Bf 109 books I have and just used colors that I allready have that look pretty damn close to the color palletes I have in my books.
Either way I will post the pics tonight including the pics where it looked all wrong. Its been a good experience though and a good model to practice air brushing skills. Even if this one does not turn out the way I want it to, the experience was well worth it and the next model will only be better.
Just one more question though from the experienced guys.
Should I airbrush Future on the model before I put on the decals or should I airbrush a flat clear coat? What will give it a more realistic look to it?

Hope this helps. Towards the bottom.

Thanks I am just trying to figure out what to use. I am afraid Future would give it to much of a gloss coat.

I think if you use an airbrysh for putting the Future liquid it will be with a thin layer.Then the decals should be done.The next step is to put a matt or semi-gloss cote.It'll make all surfaces of the model smooth nad matt or semi-gloss ( it depends on the cote you will use as a final varnish).So don't worry about it.
Yeah that is what I was thinking about doing. I will put future on before the decals and then after they dry airbrush on some Matt (Flatt) clear coat.

So you have been thinking correctly.It is a standard way for doing this.Contrary to WW1 planes, WW2 ones were matt painted and the Future liquid can be used as a "primer" for decal but not a final varnish.Certainly there are guys who used a mixture of Future and Tamiya X-21 Flat base in order to get semi-gloss textury on model.Personally I prefer matt cote for enamels or a mix of matt and gloss ones.There some links:
