Now that looks cool b) And I would imagine it would be VERY effective over a real snowy landscape.

But all that work on the paintjob and 90% of it can't be seen!

Wow !

I really like how this turned out!

I think I may use a similar technique on an upcoming German He-119 model, but "reversed" with light-colored squiggles on a dark base (not "worms", but squiggles this time!). Remember: imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

I take the point chaps.... but when I pre-shaded the greens, I was only 50% decided on whether to stay in the 'summer' two-green scheme or apply the 'winter' temporary scheme. The idea being that it was 'ready' if I decided to "go (or more accurately stay) green".

VERY cool!

Obviously I haven't been checking this often enogh. Love the white overcoat Ian! Are you going to get a matching white coat with the sleeves that tie in the back?

The man sure can paint. And, like a true artist, he's got no problem covering most of it up to go for an entirely different look.

That takes some pretty big flargles.

Brilliantly done. Would Eagles Dare?

I knew that I'd seen it somewhere before - other than Rudels Ju87G-2 - but I couldn't remember where..... The Ju52 in W.E.D...... Thanks Daryl

So, are the wing guns going to be standard 30mm or something larger for the anti-tank role?

This is up to your usual high standard!

Ian the Kiwi Herder · April 29, 2009, 04:13:43 AM

Weathered !!

Just need to run a light oil-wash into the landing gear and spray the exhaust plumes, then that's the painting finished. Thanks for all the encouragement, support and comments, chaps, really appreciate it.
