The latest EagleCals set includes marking for a very interesting pair of Schwalbes.

I'm working currently with these decals making Sinners machine. I hvae found a mistake in the painting scheme in the instruction. If you take a look on the port side view there should the 5 diagonal stripes of RLM83 while on the upper side view there are only 4. Since there are only side views of this machine on the historical photos each and every painting scheme of the wings upper surfaces are only teoretical and hypotetical there's nothng to worry. It's not a big mistake but it had confused me a little while marking stripes on the model.

Hi Michal,
.. I'm just about to do Sinner's a/c too using this sheet..I must admit to being 'intrigued' (puzzled) as to how the 'bands' ran over the machine. I'm using another sheet to do Sinner's other machine with the 'bands' running the opposite way..
cheers

Yap Steffen, I got this article. The problem is with the wing upper surfaces 'cos none of the known photographies shows how it looked like.
Neil, if you want this LiF article let me know, I got it scaned already from a fellow modeler.
