Incredible camo scheme! Is it based on an actual aircraft or is it a "what if" fictitional one?

Thanks Gary.
It's supposed to base on actual aircraft. Since I could not find any good (real) photos of "10" aircraft, I did the camo painting based on instructions from Trumpeter. I feel that the camo marks should be a bit tighter for it to be accurate whereas Trumpeter pictures of the plane show a lot more spacing between them.

Sorry son, we can't. Got to be painfully brutal here, stand up and take it like a man
An amazing camo job Nguyen, great work. I can't figure out how you found the patience to do all the squiggles.
My compliments, have a virtual beer:

Thanks for the virtual beer guys.

Rick,
In general the fits are good but you do need putty when matching engines to the wings and also between main fuselage and wings. The provided PE seat belts are quite stiff and pose a bit of problem when install. Otherwise I don't have too many issues with this kit.

Just found a decent photo of this plane, and "8" from a museum.

Simply an outstanding camo paint scheme. Since I know next to nothing about German camo schemes, the two pictures you posted really support your efforts.
