Just finished mine. I used the RLM underside color and just flat white acrylic on the top. I weathered with pastels and the result was a nice looking well "used" eastern front aircraft.. The kit decals go on great although when painting the yellow on the bottom half of the nose, it is a little off from the decals. You might want to mask off and paint all of the yellow squadron markings. When I get my digital camera back, I'll post a reply with a copy or two.
