Yeah I wish HBG would take a pic with the scupt next to an OOB unit, so you can get a better concept of its size.
So I ended up just buying some more Tigers, painted them brown, and decided not worry about the historical accuracy.

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!

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
