My First Luftwaffe Mottling! Airbrushing German Aircraft Camouflage

- In this video I assembly Eduard's Bf 109G-6 Weekend Edition kit and really focus on how I airbrush the splotches.
Get your glue bases, titanium knives and cutting mats at tankraft.com!
Great job on the paint job!
You are correct that our brains struggle to create truly random patterns and we need to focus to make sure we aren't making an unintentional design. But since all WWII camo paint jobs were also hand applied it is entirely possible that the original painter inadvertently created their own patterns.
I've always found that when I have partially completed one side of the mottle, I start the other side but with a mirror on the started side, so as to get a similar amount of mottle applied on both sides.
That’s a good tip thanks!
Nice work! Love the Erla scheme.
It’s so sinister!
What a terrific result. Well done.
Thanks Mike!
*Very good result on your 109, your paint is absolutely successful! And aluminum is better than plastic for the glue base.*
The weight and rubber make the difference
If you want your yellow to cover better, put a pink undercoat down first. Works in the car paintwork world really well.
I’ve heard that and bought some pink primer for my current build. Thanks for y the tip!
Pink? Wow. Have always used white. Will try this!
Flesh is a good base for yellow too
Incredible work, awesome build..
Thanks Henry!
I think you have done quite well. I've been practising with getting tight freehand soft edge camo on a test mule between projects recently and even though it's a test mule I found myself getting shirty when I stuffed it up 😂 Love your work!
As weird as it sounds, the stuffing it up is going to teach you more than if it is working 100%. You really learn what affects what when it comes to pressure, distance and thinning
Great looking scheme!
Looks great, though none of it was field applied, it's a standard Erla G-6 scheme and was all factory applied. Imo the erla scheme is the most interesting of the 109 factory schemes.
That’s weird because when I looked at several reference photos none of them matched. I assumed the mottling was done at the unit level.
@@TheModelGuy poor Hans had to spray all those spots. There are photos from the factory of the painted fuselages.
Great job mate
Thanks Luke
Really nice well done if you are going to do a nother german aircraft you should and do there fw 190 I recommend this kit love the camouflage 👍👍
I really like the looks of the FW-190A with a few in the stash. Gotta get out of the Eduard stuff for a build or two to change it up :)
Great job !
Would be interesting to see the Avenger with Luftwaffe mottling :-)
Mantapsss ... Great paint!
What, exactly, was the problem with the 109's undercarriage? I noticed on my 1/72 that the angle of the struts and the wheels themselves are splayed out. Was it (what we skateboarders would call) the wobbles?
Because of the angle of the landing gear legs they were prone to collapsing under very little loads
I haven't stabbed my balls but I have pierced the nice soft area on the inside part of my left foot just above the heel. After that I adopted the 'no-roll' approach.
If you don't care about the branding or the color, search for "silicone pen grip", and you'll find all sorts of slip-on grips, usually in bright or pastel colors, in larger quantities (although how many different craft knives would you need at one time?) for less money than the Tankraft ones.
Where did you get your cutting mat?
That is from Tankraft! They have a variety of tanks and aircraft & sizes to choose from
What is the website to get your glue holder. I am unable to here what you said
Tankraft
Not the balls but close very close. Steve U.K.
What does your child model?
He likes building tanks
What is this “Just paint the Owl” technique?
That’s when someone is just good at something and expects anyone to be able to do it. Ever look at a kids learn to draw book and steps 1-3 are logical and then step 4 it’s completely done and shaded in? Like a bunch of steps are missing? That’s the “Just Paint the Owl” technique
6:4 is not a thing, that would be 3:2.
Quite nice mottling you made out of it, good description of your process 👍 It's a pity that Eduard does not show in instructions places that should be filled or corrected, like those engine cover parts or infamous "Eduards's V", rookie-trap V-shaped line on lower centroplane. I also think that decals on outer flaps should be placed inside (RLM02 covered part) of flap; next time also don't forget to add braking hoses on landing gear 😉
Last thing to add - I would not choose this color combination (I fell in love with MRP colors since last year); but as mentioned, at the end also the color mix does not look bad at all. Very nice model and fine build, thanks for sharing 👏
Unfortunately I didn’t realize the flap position indicator position was wrong until the very end. I followed the stencil instructions :S
That is an awesome job on the German Camouflage! It is especially incredible since this is your first time doing it! I am definitely going to use these same techniques when I build my 109. Thanks again!
Thanks Mike! Be sure to have a paint mule for testing and practice.
Thanks for keeping mot simple unlike some modeler's that seem to approach this as if the real camo was done by professional artistes!🙄

Great build cracking job with the camo! Barkhorn' s aircraft was a g5 model which is the same as the g6, but with pressurized cockpit.
Many thanks for the video. Working on a Tamiya 190 right now and yeah... I need to this my paint a lot more
Sorry, but I use a common kitchen sponge with a cut out for the Tamiya glue. Works fantastic and costs about .25 cents.
I must invest in a decent airbrush, so many German subjects I'm missing out on. Great finish on the 109 👍
Thanks Greg. Even with an entry level Iwata knock off and a .3mm needle you should be okay. Just play with your air pressure
@@TheModelGuy Cheers 👍
So… resin and more mottleing to come, FW190 on the way???😁 very nice work on the 109 too
Maybe. Or a 109G all opened up
Finally! A solution to my constant knocking over of my glue…
It takes a bit of effort to move it and tip it
Amazing job, came out great.
Thanks MM!
Outstanding video 📹😀😀😊😊💜
Thanks bud!
Nice workflow, Robbie.
Thanks bud! I have to be efficient with my minimum time
Stick it to the bench, or a piece of card, with blue tack. Cheaper, and less pretentious.
Stick what?
@@TheModelGuy The cement bottle.
Sinister 😉👌
Yaaaaas
awesome!
Beautiful work
Just a comment for the

Just a response for the algorithm :)
Although the new Bill coming out in Canada may screw up my channel
@@TheModelGuy how much more are they gonna restrict the poor citizens of Canada
@@Steve_8341 basically if the bill passes, I have to do all Canadian content or my channel gets buried and you have to search for it. No more click throughs
@@TheModelGuy wow unbelievable
Let me guess. You will only be able to watch approved channels as well
Plus... you could have said, "stab you in the leg..." You could have kept it clean. Don't you have a young son?
I also have a young daughter. If hearing the word “balls” on RUclips is too triggering for you, the internet may not be the safest place to visit.
My 12 year old says fuck more than I do and I couldn't care less. Know why? Because it's just a fucking word. Get a life
Great work once again! When you processed the cowling with spruce-glue came to me a thought. Couldn't you inlay the part directly with a small amount of spruce-glue to avoid seamlines? Have you tried this before, or heard of anyone trying it? Just out of interest...
I haven’t heard anyone trying that. It takes a full 24 hours for it to cure so I think it would slow down the building process too much.
