Thanks Spitfire, I wanted mine to be unique with a little historical flair, but with my own twist on some of it. :-D

Cool schemes, great work. Hoping that the enemy has left my mancave so i can resume work this weekend……

I appreciate it, it was fun for sure!

I would hope it is gone. That is bad when you are fighting a two front war, trying to paint and getting rid of a snake, LOL.

The closest thing that can get to me is the brown recluse, and in the summer, they are very bad, in Texas. :-D

**Update:**Guys, because of spring break, taxes, and the fact I’m having my kitchen redone, I have to put the my painting on hold.

I will have the final phase five of the Luftwaffe, the gray camo scheme done, plus redo’s of some of the first two sets, and will try to start the German Navy in April.

Sorry, but real life sometimes interferes, and I kept putting off my taxes, but can no longer put that off, LOL. I could use a break, so I will resume painting soon. :-D

Cheers,

John

P.S. In the mean time, check out Spitfire’s awesome Flying Tigers, on my painted set from him, on his thread. :-)

Thank you!

You guys have really helped me improve my painting, and the mentality and the patience it takes to paint. Each of you have helped me tremendously, and I greatly appreciate it.

The key for me, was the patience factor, because I am rewarded with a better paint job.

The last test is the yellow noses again in with the grey, black and green camos schemes.

Counting the last phase and redo’s will be 72 planes, but I’m up to the challenge.

Then the Navy, will be my next challenge, LOL.

Thanks again, my friend! :-D

Here’s a tip for your noses. If you prime in white or gray paint the nose first and mask it with a very thin layer of after it has dried. If you lay the blue tack on thin you can even trim it to precision with your exacto knife. Then paint your darker colors over the rest of the plane. This also works well for masking smaller deatails in other areas.

What is the blue tack you are talking about?

Is it some kind of tape?

Is that what you are talking about?

I’m just trying to make sure I’m following you. :-)
