Here is a little project for in between. My first WWII plane so far. As I found out, these parts are much smaller than modern fighter jets in 1/72 scale. Please do not pay so much attention to historical correctness. With the colors, it was more important to me to try the mottled camo. And it's not that easy at all. I really got on with the airbrush. In the end it was probably a draw between us, because you can certainly make more of it. However, for now I am satisfied. The Messerschmitt looks good in the showcase. 😉
