No worries mate, its dramatically different without the tonal changes on my phone.  Still trying to figure out how to adjust it to more realistic levels.

Going forward I glossed and put on the decals.  Forgot the silver and rlm 76 square that goes underneath the swastika so fixing that little issue.  

I'm presuming not everyone is a fan of them(incl SWMBO) but I only have swastikas to replcate the aircrafts looks and am in no way condoning some of the atrocities that were exhibited in the war.  

It's certainly an unusual scheme but all the better for that in my opinion.

 

There seems to be a strange desire to scrub the swastika from history but I feel that will only give rise to an opportunity for the mistakes of the past being repeated. We are neither condoning not glorifying the atrocities committed when we present an accurate historical document. Rather it is better to keep an awareness of those events so they can be prevented in the future.

With the flat coat and weathering on this is how the AMT-4 looks right now.  I fiddled around with the cam and got the closest match.

So to me it looks a lot more realistic viewed on the inter webs like this, of course the other colours now are all wrong lol.

Finishing up some work on the exhaust and putting the finishing touches on my Africa builds.

...and finished.  Just need to get the proper background and take proper pictures.

Tidy job sir. Always good to see a 109 in a less common scheme

Here it is and next to my Tamiya 109.  Amazing what a couple years and an airbrush can do.  Also what was I thinking with that green landing gear.
