Good luck John! May your paint be ever-so-smooth, your brushes finely shaped, and your fingers always nimble. Join the club. :)

Thanks guys, I appreciate the words of encouragement. Since you guys are so supportive, I will go ahead and show you, my only two paint jobs, I’ve done.

I painted 2 German BF 109’s.

The first one was a black BF 109. I tried to paint a simple white stripe by the side decals, the problem is, I don’t know how long you too wait for the acrylic paint to dry before you do nose coloring, stripes or camo. I used a gray primer, then I painted the main color black.

When I tried to paint the stripe, I had problems, even worse when I tried to paint the nose of the plane, it would have black still showing underneath. It was looking like one big glob of a mess.

Can you all explain how you do those things and make look smooth?

The second BF 109 was suppose to be a German Green Camo, with dark and light green stripes, here again, I don’t know when to add the next camo color, because I don’t how long you wait for it too dry.

For some reason, it came out awesome, because I smeared four colors and made this affect on the plane. Now, it doesn’t have the distinct camo lines, as the German green camo, normally has, but I think it still looks sharp.

I would fly it, LOL.

Also would have liked to had a yellow nose with yellow side stripes, but maybe, you all can give me some advice.

Without further delay, here is my first works. Enjoy! :-D

Those pictures did not turnout great, let me take separate shots of them. I’ll be back! :-(

I hope this is better!

Here is the black one!

[John Brown]

These aren’t much better, but at least the first picture on these last pictures will show you the green and black camo a little.

Let me know what you think? :-D
