How to Paint WWII Luftwaffe Mid War Aircraft SOLUTION BOOK

What the title is about

According to its title the publication focuses on painting German aircraft of the middle phase of the Second World War. That is exactly when the Luftwaffe settled on the schemes that modelers build most often: gray combinations on fighters, dark upper surfaces on bombers and different shades for machines deployed over the Mediterranean and over the Eastern Front.

What is demanding about these schemes

German schemes of this period are not about an even coat. What matters is the soft transition between the fields of camouflage, the fine mottling on the sides of the fuselage and on the fin, and the balance between the upper surfaces and the light underside. On top of that come the national markings, the dust and the wear of the leading edges, which have to match the time and place of service, otherwise the whole model looks unconvincing.
