WOW, what a pain in the A$$.  Now I know why the Germans switched to a two tone splinter camo over the three tone.

Looks about as fun as masking a ju-188 canopy! Nice work though--you pulled it off!

Actually, this is easier than a Ju-188 greenhouse.  Too much variation on what the actual pattern is so I just winged it.

John,  this was used by Germany around the time of the Spanish Civil War.  Condor Legion used it in Spain as well.

Thanks, Ed, maybe that will make the Stuka a more interesting project for me.  I have some 109's I want to do in that era.

68GT: Yeah those splinter camos are a pain to paint but they look so good when done! Nice work! Yes

68GT, that is a great job on the camouflage, a stunning scheme really well executed! Really sharp lines.

Thanks, I owe it all to 3M's painters tape, discontinued Model Master enamel paint and my trusty Badger 200 airbrush

Thanks, considering what a turd this kit was I'm coming around on how it's turning out.
