Henning,

Superb work on both your DV's - you must have the patience of a saint to individually cut and apply the diamond masking - very skillwork work, actually.

Regards

Dave

   Both beautifully done for any Scale but in 1:72?!? The Masking, as already stated, is incredible on the Bavarian subject. Congratulations and compliments on completing a very impressive pair of Models!
Cheers,
Lance

That masking job is brilliant! Could you explain how it was done, please?

It is in fact simple but time consuming.
first masked the whole plane as here.
(http://www.danskemodelbyggere.dk/forum/gallery/7949_04_04_14_9_57_31_1.JPG)

then every place where there are 2 layer of masking tape is cut free and removed.

There are a few more pictures here but it is in Danish.

Very impressive pair!
 But wouldn't it have been so much easier to use the decals.... :-X
I wouldn't even dream of trying to do all that masking - give me the easy option every time!  ;)

Amazing paint job on the checkered aircraft. Certainly time consuming but realistic. It may be easier than trying to have decals shape properly around the fuselage, and match...

Lovely builds both, and that masking job is truly amazing!  I usually prefer masking to decals where feasible, bit wow, this takes the cake!
