I love that camo pattern. Some of it is squared off and then others are soft cloud-like blobs.

Hey JPTRR, what happened to Inspektor von Hund?
I wouldn't trust this new guy. He looks alot like inspector Leroy ze Kat who I banished from my model room for knocking my paint thinner off the shelf.

True story. In the 10th grade I had a world history teacher who said the "blotchy" paint schemes on German planes was because the Luftwaffe was conserving paint since the war was going badley and there was no room for waste....even paint. :-)

Hi Guys,

Thanks. The build is "turning base to final".

My only reference of Bar's Schwable is a grainy photo in Osprey's book, and their color profile. Both seem to show more RLM 76 than I left, especially on the nacelles. I plan to touch that up.

Hopefully the decals will be on Monday. Then I'll publish my review.
