Very nice, Martin!

The grass looks almost real - what do you use?

I like how the figures look so casual, like a snapshot has been taken, looks like they´re all in the middle of a chat. The mottling is nice, I still need to practice a lot, til I can pull it off like that. Congrats!

Lovely - but no swastika?

I never think a World War 2 Luftwaffe aircraft is complete without the full and correct markings.

Well thats static gras in different lengths and shades of green. After it has dried it is treated with airbrush inks: yellow, mid green, dark green and brown. That gives it different shades.After that it is dusted with very dilluted sand tone and in the end a matt clear coat. That's it.

Yep, you may be right, but then in my country those are not allowed to be shown. The kit did not have em and I don't plan to do more 1/48 German planes, so buying a set for just one plane ...

Lovely dio, I too don't put the swastika on my aircraft even when they are supplied in broken down form, comes from living here I suppose.
It's only pain, work through it.

Super job. Lovely paintwork and neatly posed, too.
So many models, so little time.

Nice work, Martin.

It's nice to see what you're capable of in the larger scales.

I'd love to see what you would pull off on 1/32
