Just went through the thread and wonderful work on this fine kit. Anxious to see the final outcome, but I know how things go with builds sometimes. Hope to see you get back to it in the near future. Again, great work.

A technique I've used to create the mottling with paint brushes is to thin the paint down by 1/2, put a small blob down and then go over it with another paintbrush that has nothing but thinner on it to make the blob hazy and somewhat translucent. Crappy description of how I do it, I know, but once you try it, you will see how it works in real life. Give it a whirl. Otherwise, you did good on the two kits and keep practicing. You are off to a fine start. Thanks for sharing both the 109 and 190.

Good work on the Tamiya Zero and it looks like you gave your best shot on the metal version. Thanks for sharing both as I am now forewarned about the fun and games with the Metal Earth kits. The guy at my local hobby shop is always trying to get me to purchase one, probably to get rid of inventory.

Wonderful version of the navalized P-39. You did good with this kit. Thanks for sharing.

Really nice looking Bloch and the detail work you did is excellent. Thanks for sharing.

I thought the last one you did was great looking. This silver version is even more attractive and fantastic looking. Thanks for sharing.

Another one of your micro scale masterpieces in which you somehow magically transform a snap fit kit into a thing of beauty that mere mortals cannot hope to accomplish with their average manual dexterity skills. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice take on the Luft '46 aircraft. Your paint scheme is quite effective and attractive. Just an all around good looking finished aircraft. Thanks for sharing.

I think it looks great and you did a terrific job on this kit. Most people are not going to recognize if there are inaccuracies anyway. Those that do can build their own version to their standard. Just superb work and thanks for sharing.

The aircraft finish and camo is just out of this world good. Really outstanding. Thanks for sharing.

Lay down the lighter spinner color first, then get some flexible thin tape to mask off the stripes accompanied by some frustrating noises, slightly off color language and wish for more steady hands, followed up by some black paint, I really don't think there is an easier way.

This is one of my all time favorite kits having built several over the decades since it came out and still have a couple in the stash. However, none of my builds have ever turned out as nice and refined as the one you have presented here. Excellent work and thanks for sharing.

It is nice to see the two side by side although your HK version has been modified quite extensively over the base model. Both look great. Like you, I bought the HK kit when it came out never thinking the WNW kit would surface over here in the states. You did great work and thanks for sharing them both.

Absolutely brilliantly built and finished 109. You crammed a lot of detail into such a small scale. I'm almost positive I could never handle the small PE bits and pieces you used on this build. Thanks for sharing.

I missed this one the first time around also. Glad it resurfaced as you have made a beaut of a Bucker. Thanks for sharing again.
