Nicely done; especially the dappled camouflage! The markings, cockpit details and glass depictions are top-notch, but might the front glass panes be a bit different in tone due to their changes in angle?


Probably a bit late, but I think there should be more shading and highlighting on the fuselage side to denote the sharply curving bottom transitioning to the gently curving side transitioning to sharply curving top. Think of an egg standing on its large end.


The prop shadow is a nice touch, but the 109E exhausts were nestled inside a fairing that shrouded the exhausts top and bottom. There should be a long shadow line under the fairing with perhaps the very tips of the exhausts creating another shadow beyond that.


Perhaps a highlight bump on the intake, the fuselage spine, wing tip, and the leading edges wing, tail-plane, and vertical fin/rudder is in order as well. Even matte finishes produce a highlight sheen on acute angle changes.


There's a few more, but I've probable pissed you off enough as it it is... ;)


Cheers,


Glen

Very glad you persisted.  It is really a first class paint job, beautifully done.

Ah... that makes it closer to 1/72 versus 1/48. Say mid 1/60s scale. A good size for WW II fighters.

Scale or no scale ... referring to Jacques Vullinghs they are matching a 30mm figure.

It was pointed out that the Spit was 160mm long. That's around 6.25". A 1/48 Spitfire I is around 7.25", so off the top of my head the flat is coming in somewhere in the low/mid 1/50s in terms of scale. I'd do the math, but it's late and I'm tired...

Jan it seems you have far steadier hands than I do  :o .


I would have to uses masking tape, stencils, or decals to get them to look that good.


I'd like to see the other aircraft when you get to them.


Cheers,


Glen

For your information Glen, everything is painted and there isn´t any guide lines engraved, which I am glad for.
I have a couple of more painted German aircrafts which I will show when I have become on friendly terms with my computer again.
