This was my
entry for the "Defense of the Reich" group build and depicts
"Red 3" of II/JG 6 circa 1944. The Tamiya kit falls
together without issue, the only additions were a pair of Eduard etched
belts, Quickboost hollow exhausts, the decals from Cutting
Edge's "Dashing Doras pt 1" and some nylon thread for the
radio wires. Tamiya acrylics were used all over, and as you can see,
my first ever attempt at mottling wasn't entirely successful.

This was my first attempt
at weathering, and I'm quite happy with it, the panel lines were
highlighted with Indian ink (not a technique I plan on using again as the
lines are too stark), but other than that, it was fun
and a good learning experience.
