I'm never ceased to be amazed at the depth of the resources. Thanks. I did kind of find this one but with no detailed information. The photo is a bit deceiving in that it appears to have a yellow belly as well!It's the Dornier Do 17Z-2 Geschwader Stab KG2 U5+DA in flight over the Balkans 1941. Here is the full shot.

Encouragement appreciated. I'll not give up, just a wonder that these were 'popular' and build back in the day! Most likely will keep me occupied until GB51 though.Keep chipping away. The reward will be there. Takes some skill to make, i think, a 50 year old kit presentable. But hè it would take far more skill to put a 50 year old builder presentable. Unless you live in Hollywood. Then it would not be a challenge.
Perfect point. But then again FUN is relative. I always enjoy the builds, even this one, but just some are 'funner' than others. Not sure how far that lipstick is going to go though! Thanks for pointing me back to reality.Remember, this is supposed to be fun.
Ahhh! When I first saw the photo of the model I thought of peeling paint, but in a way that did not make 'German' sense! Applying this 'pattern' will be a bit more challenging, but if I just concentrate on the 'hard' edges, rudder leading edges, etc. and use the photo as a guide it should be interesting and fun as well. I just need to pick an applicator. The 'softer' camo woul have been easy if applied with a Q-tip or somthing with a spongy sort tip. The 'peeled' look will be tested on my sacraficial Spitfire. I suppose a stiff flat edge brush may be well to start with. Thanks for the insight. Never had any doubts about being further educated!The winter "camouflage" is nothing but a removable white paint that was applied over the standard 70/71 splinter pattern. The white wore off easily and the differences that you see in photos and schemes are simply a result of differing extents of wear. That means that you can pretty well show the white in whatever state you want.
