1/48 Tamiya Me-109E Trop

This is my second submission to ARC, a 1/48 Tamiya ME-109E Trop.  The kit was built almost straight from the box, the only addition was a resin seat with seatbelts from True Details.  After painting the entire airframe light blue, I applied some post shading for depth.  Homemade paper masks were used to get the feathered edges with the tan.  The green mottle was sprayed freehand with my Badger 100 dual action airbrush.  It was painted with Gunze acrylics, and weathered with washes and pastels.

I used the kit decals, they went down well with liberal applications of Micro Sol.  Thanks for looking!
