(I'll quell the cries of harassment right now - see güt feldmarshall has free license to kick my butt in open forum!! ;). )

Manny, for the upper machine, less is INDEED more, but if I'm following the markings sheet, the tail got hit fairly heavily. It was also approaching midnight and I was enjoying the paint fumes. Taking a look at it in person, there isn't as much contrast as the photos would suggest. I AM taking another look at it this afternoon, may be reverse-mottling that with a little RLM76.

Now, the brown, sorta-stripes. Picture crewman Hans with paint sprayer in hand adding a stripe running top-to-bottom with a little side-to-side wiggle.

Just flipping through my references. These boys have a chapter of their own within the Osprey Aviation Elite units book dealing with JV44...

Photo reference of "red 13" with the earlier, non-blown canopy! I'm doing it!

Slick sir, which kit is that one?

I went back & blended out some of that tail, but it's still heavier than what you have on blau 4+-, some weathering started up last night late, no pics yet.

Hey, Manny - looking good. Why the green "atmosphere"?
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

This is the very old (and rare) Trimaster kit...the molds were eventually used by Dragon. Note the "LESS IS MORE" and "RESTRAINED" mottling, following the "YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD MORE BUT YOU CANT TAKE AWAY" philosophy...
