brief update - blackbased using Mr. Surfacer 1500 primer (rattle can) and Tamiya white, and I've already sprayed the yellow and white bands and markings in prep for masking them and then starting on rest of the paint work using AK Real Colors. The Tamiya G-6 will wear Romanian livery, and the Frog F will be a desert scheme.

Great Greg, a technique I will definitely try! I think you will get a great result and am looking forward to your next update.

Great looking planes, Greg (@gkittinger). I have noticed that the builds in many of the articles I am reading in model magazines are using black primer as a base for the later colors. I plan to try it on my builds for the Luftwaffe Group. I think we are building the same planes, but after my last 1/72 model, I wanted to build something bigger. So I am building a 1/32 109F-4 with a desert scheme in Spanish colors, and then a 1/32 109G in Romanian colors. It looks like yours will be done a long time before mine, so I can use yours as a clinic to build mine.
