"Fermis", a member on SP&R and perhaps here, did this Wick's on the FSM 109 GB, this gives an explanation of technique too.

Oh, so if you look at your post (the one above this or any for that matter) it shows "0 warning points" below the "Advanced Member"? So this is something only the individual member sees, not everyone else?
Did I miss James or what color did you use for the paint? That has almost a SCW era look to it but the markings are more for home defense. I know many consider the early 109's (used in Spain) to be almost a NMF but a little more "primerish" in it's patina.
Very wise to convert a better detailed kit like this into a "Jumoschimtt", love the surgery you performed, not much room for errors on a 1/32.
Nice work to get back in the saddle, the decals do look great. So did you take the masks off, forgot and then shot the dull coat? That had to be a bummer.
