Mercenary arquebusiers

Painted these about 7 years ago, they returned this week for a touch up of the scratchs, a quick dust brush, then a ink of devlan mud, then re-highlighted the blue and white, I think I might even redo the flesh!

Allied aircraft

WOW Allied Aircraft
My first aircraft of the Allied airforce for 1/72nd Wings of War, these were put together by my good mate Chris who was up for the challenge of the Airfix RE8, and the Roden Se5 was a much kinder kit to build apparently. Both kits were painted with my trusty Aztek, then ink washed, then a combination of airbrush and brush highlighting and weathering, I don't know why but all allied transfers seem oversize so I have ordered some replacements for both of these aircraft, and I have some pilots (currently being sculpted, which I will put into production) on the way to fill the empty seats soon!
The trusty Aifix RE8, I ahve a second airfix kit that will be in Belgian colours
The Roden Se5, two more of these to build and paint!
cheers
