Much appreciated, but I did pick up some sheets a couple of months ago that have a large selection of sizes and styles. I shoud be covered. Thanks again.Good one Ralph. I'll take a look through the stash to see if I have some swastikas for you.
The thin black outline, if present, at 1/72 would be hardly noticeable on the dark 70/71 background. The Ju88A-1 swastika measured 650mm square which at 1/72 would be a hair over 9mm. I believe that the sheet that you posted there has some swastikas that are meant to be assembled, i.e. the white background is placed first and then the slightly smaller black interior is placed over that leaving a thin white outline. If your white backgrounds are the correct size then I'd suggest that you could use those.
All that said, I do have one last set of swastikas that would be the right size as shown below. They are Eduard ones and come in two pieces each. Happy to mail these if you want. If so, PM me your address and I'll fire them off.

The level of detailing of the new models is amazing! I'm just so-o-o-o-o envious!!!!!Little tiny pieces!! Should have gotten the 1:48 version. The cockpit area is working out well. For me anyway. The photos below; I was not able to color correct (white balance) the images because I used my phone camera. In the first image, the color is about right as showing in the forward cockpit area. The remaining surfaces have a 'brownish' tinge. Not showing the true color.
Asalways, a bit dissapointed in the 'quality' of the painting when viewed at these scales. Even when applying the small dot areas using a jewlers loop, they looked acceptable. However, behind the acrylic windshields, these areas will look 'acceptable'

I, as usual (usually wrong), went by the paint schedule in the instructions (K-Red, J-Black, F-Grey). I did find some example builds on line and the 1:48 that I found was grey as well. So, I went with it. The other color details; builders choice I guess? If I'm wrong, now would be the time to correct, before I glue the sections together.

BTW are all those radio boxes not black/dark grey on the most of the planes (no matter German or not)?
Thanks for the clarification! I'm not too familiar with Luftwaffe interiors and those "boxes" appear darker (in the b&w manuals),I, as usual (usually wrong), went by the paint schedule in the instructions (K-Red, J-Black, F-Grey).
