Will do!

To everyone who answered, thanks a bunch. All of this info was very helpful. Now, off to the project!

And while I'm at it, thanks to all for the helpful replies to my question. I truly appreciate it. Keep an eye peeled in the future for some photos and updates.

Yes indeed, Wurger... and very helpful! I should be getting the colors in today or tomorrow.

I did that and got lots of swell photos, but none indicating what colors (i.e., RLM numbers) for the scheme I'm doing. Thanks.

Howdy! I am getting ready to build the Tamiya 1/48 Bf 109G-6, kit 61117 and I want to paint do it in Swiss markings. I already have a decal set for it, but need some help figuring out what colors to use for the upper surfaces. The aircraft I am doing is marked J-704. Apparently, this aircraft...

Wurger, That is what I was looking for! The Eduard thing, I think, will work like a champ... thanks!

I have the Tamiya 1/48 Bf109 G-6 and would like to do it up in a Swiss scheme. I've looked high and low on the Google and can't find decals for a G-6, only E- variants. I would prefer a US vendor due to the craziness that is shipping these days, but a known reliable source wouldn't be out of the...

Thanks, Wurger! Google is, indeed, my friend! However, Google can make my eyes bleed after a bit. I don't have a clue about all of the details and differences in axis planes, nose bulges, wheel bulges on the wings, tall tail vs. short tail, etc. That's why I asked. I like to stay resaonably...

I have Tamiya’s newer 1/48 Bf109 G-6 and was wondering if it would work for a Swiss aircraft? I like to do somewhat different markings for my aircraft and I haven’t done a Swiss marked plane yet.

If you are talking about the stubby little M2 single action, I do have one. It is excellent. It is my go to for most things: Tamiya; X-22; Model Master Acryl clears; Stynylrez primer; Ammo by MIG paints. Very easy to use, and very easy to clean. Given the opportunity to get one again, I would be...

I've looked high and low, but to know avail. What type of Swordfish attacked the Bismark? MkI or MkII? I'd like to build a model of one, but need to know where to start.

That looks great! And the type of thing I'm looking for. Thanks!

I have an 1/48 Eduard Weekend Edition Bf109E-3. Being a Weekend Edition it has one decal/color scheme. I am not one to do the usual stuff, so I would like to do something a little different. Can anyone point me to some decal sets that might offer some good alternatives to the norm?

So, going with the wipe down theory, did the person just wipe down the one color? It really does look like two colors of a different sheen. Very interesting photo, to be sure.
