Hi Karl
please forgive me, but I have some complaints ....
by no means I want to discourage you!
The blotches are a little to round and too few... well .. just look:

you also see the 8 is in the wrong position. The fuselage cross should be parallel to the a/c longintudinal axis (mostly you can adjust it on a panel line). I also think the wing crosses are a tad too much inboard and also not parallel to the longitudinal axis (but that might be a camera distorsion) ... the dark spinner segment is black or black green (RLM 70)
OTOH this picture is not a colour photo but coloured ... so the colours are not totally correct .. also the crosses were retouched and look a little wrong .. but when you base your model on this picture you could leave the slightly off "Balkan crosses" .. sorry Stephen .. it was just too funny
( the right term is Balkenkreuze)
Besides that your model is a clean build and very promising!!
best wishes
Steffen
