That wing decal on the Trop is incredible. Mine always looked thick and plasticy. It was apparent that they were a decal. Yours looks really good.
Nice job.

Must finally be doing something right then! After my mini panic about the Molders 109 it seems it will come good. I remember Goon saying that he had mixed views on some of his kits pre flat coat so i had a last look at it last night and thought well if Goon has worries with his kits then i might be ok. I tried a new flat coat, Vallejos acrylic varnish, mix with water to thin and spray away. Tested on the tyres first and they came up good so into the 109. The difference was pleasing. Everything evened out nicely and she sits up for another 24 hours now and then i can stick on last of the fiddly bits. One wing sprayed v the still glossed rest of the model. Breathed a sigh of relief as the clear went down

It's taken me just over a year to get to this point Colonel and i'm very happy with my progress I still have way too many panic moments though and seem to be pretty good at doing some silly things along the way lol. Getting close on both. The canopy gave me a bit of trouble, it looked way to plasticy and toyish compared to the rest of the model after the initial spray. A couple of small (painfully so) pe details helped it out and then a repaint with some flat added plus an attempt at some weathering and chipping. It also needed some sanding as it wouldn't fit flush when closed but i think i got it beat in the end, for the Molders one anyway. The prop spinner looked bland when flatted so i redid it with a mix of gloss and flat at 50/50 and it looks much more the part. Still to add, aerial and rigging, slats to be flatted and glued on and some final minor touch ups. The Trop needs the canopy done, some cockpit chipping/detail work on the inner frame and backrest, slats, aerial and rigging, exhaust stain (less than the other one) and to be overall final coated to level it all out. Couple of pics before they do their full cat walk show

Superb Ajay. The dent adds character. The hand photo really shows how small the model is and your modeling skill.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Ajay, have you thought of using piano wire for the antenna?
