I know that I posted these old/off topic builds elsewhere but don't think I have done so here. This is the continuation of my "Theme" building. Jadgeschwader Richthofen Bf 109E-4 Helmut Wick: 1/32nd Eduard kit. More to come eventually  8)

Beautiful 109, Rick!  What's your secret on the amazing mottling?
Was that all done with the airbrush, or combined with something else?
Great start to the collection, my friend! :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Thanks Ed, Ernie and Chris! I appreciate you looking in.
Ernie and Chris,
The answer to your question on Wicks aircraft I simply used thinned polyscale and a small brush to hand paint the Mottle. I then used polishing cloth, between 8000 and 12000 grit, to smooth the finish. The freshly overpainted area is airbrushed as was the original.
 The second 109 Jabo, is airbrushed Mottle using Xtra Color Enamels.
