I like how this looks ! I did something very similar when I painted the Revell / Pro Modeler 1/48 scale Ta-154 Moskito. At first I was not happy with the outcome, so I ended up having to do it over again. I think the problem I had was I painted the model while holding the airbrush too close to the surface of the kit.
I don't think you will have this problem, as your 109 is looking very good from here !
I too am anxious to see how it looks with the masking removed. Well done my friend !
I have not had much time lately to do model building work. I did manage to get in a little bench time today, but it was spent working on my B-24 Tubarao.
Hopefully I will soon have an update for the 109's I have underway.
Indeed your 109 is looking just like the one in the photo. Outstanding work ! 🙂
