Desert Marlin AuthorI spent the last week working on this one. Still needs a little more weathering, a little touch up and antenna added. Pretty close to complete...

Desert Marlin AuthorThe Tamiya kit is amazing. The features of having the cowling open (or closed) just by taking the prop off and then removing the closed cowling and replacing it with the open cowling is awesome. I was fretting which way to make the kit, but this is not a choice I had to make. It's made with both options simultaneously and configured as needed for display!

Desert Marlin AuthorThanks!The mottling is really kinda unpredictable depending on the paint I use. Right now, I am running out of the Model Master Luftwaffe colors so I am switching over to the Mr. Hobby Aqueous colors. They are really fine for sure!

Spitfire14This "white 9" was flown by Emil Clade. This German pilot might have influenced history probably more than commonly known. He has shot down the Bristol Bomby transport plane which transported Gen. "Strafer" Gott. Gott was killed and did not become the sucessor of Claude Auchinleck. So that's how Monty ended up becomming commander of the 8th Army in North Africa.
Plus it's always nice to see the gunboat configuration (R6) of the "Beule"

Jacob McCormickAfter a little reading, White 7 was actually Uffz. Rudolf Moycis from JG.27. His aircraft is often pictured with Clade's White 2 but Clade's machine has less side camouflage "blobs" and more mottling.
