Gorgeous work. The RLM colors look perfect to my eye.

Wow, backdrop makes a huge difference!  Shows a lot about the camera I suppose.  Looking really good.

Thanks,

John

That's a knockout Stuka, Chad. Yes

I too wish I'd have found this sooner.

I'm a little turned around......what happened to the splinter pattern?

Thanks Greg!  Stukas in the Mediterranean theater of war were often oversorayed with RLM 79 sand yellow to camouflage their units.

You're welcome.

And I didn't know that, now that I know what I'm looking for, I see the splinter pattern in between the RLM 79. That's actually very neat, and thanks for the info.
