Looking good there Jerry.
Now that's different silence, Jan will be happy it has a 13 on it!
Yeah, I like to do custom paint jobs, especially after doing so many "officially approved" ones over the years. That's one reason I like doing German planes: there seems to be a great deal more variety in their schemes than those of other air forces.
In this case the scheme was a sudden whim, and I was pleasantly surprised at how it looked when done.

A red Ta152 should be in your future.

Yep. "custom" job for sure.

Well... I've done a almost-all black 152H and a med grey with light grey accents 152C. And I pretty much always do a yellow chin.
And there's the 1/24 D-9 with an "arctic" (black-grey-white) camo and - again - some yellow highlights plus a custom white wolf silhouette logo.
And a black 109F with 1/3 yellow spinner, yellow chin and rudder, and yellow on the topside of the wingtips. Underside and wing root fillets are RLM 75. And I made some Gallandish-style MG 131 bulges for the deck MGs. Oh, and for fun gave it an Erla hood and deleted the aileron weights. Probably the evilest looking plane I ever built.
And currently just started what will be an all-white D-13, sorta: I'm reversing the engine piping and moving the supercharger to the left to give it that DB-powered look. Do need to order some DB 603 stacks still...
Red Ta sounds interesting - but I'd go with a dark red (like Humbol Wine or Model Masters British Scarlet/Crimson) as opposed to a Ferrari red. Maybe use black for highlights or custom designs.... and maltese crosses instead of Balkenkreuz as a sort of homage to Richthoven.
I've just done so many LW fighters with "official" or almost official paint schemes that its fun to go my own way.

This one's for real:

Yeah, I've heard about that one. Just don't really like the orange-red color, so I'd probably go my own way. Looks like a simple decal job, though!

Looking forward to them pics Wayne.
BLACK 10 2/JG26
Thanks Guys, here are a couple of pics, not entirely satisfied with them but at least it shows some forward progress...
I'm going with 74/75 on the upper wings, matching an earlier aircraft in this series 500581 Black 8 of II/JG6 of which colour footage exists.(Eagle Editions Vol.1) The wings are most definitely not the Greens seen on the fuselage and have a lighter appearance in the available black and white photo in both EE and JaPo books.
