Fantastic Ian, especially the camo on the Junkers

Thanks for showing!

Thanks Ralf
The Ju88 camouflage was very hard to get right as it is all done with an airbrush and so one mistake means you have to redo a large area which happened quite a few times until I was happy enough with it. It was also replicated underneath but in reverse.
It is surprisingly hard to be random when painting this sort of scheme.

Thanks Ralf
There was an awful lot of masking tape used to paint almost all the lines on the plane, there were over 120 bits of tape just for the propeller tips. I was a bit disappointed with how some of the decals came out, mainly the tail image of the Gryphon as the outline should be a much brighter yellow but it is such a hard colour to reproduce on clear waterslide inkjet paper and also the transfer is a lot thicker than commercially available decals so leaves a slightly raised line. But on the bright side I now have decals for Luftwaffe,Armee de L'Air, Turkish Airforce and Malaysian Airforce A400M's as I had to buy, scan, reduce and correct a whole set of decals just to get the RAF ones I wanted.
