thanks my friend.

white 21 is favourite for now as details on white 6 are scarce.
would like a grey / green cammo rather than 74/75/76 scheme but cant pin one down

Looking forward to this.

Would like to see how you go about the camo scheme. Bangers and chips for most of the guys around here but LW mottling is still a dark art for me.

Look forward to this one Karl, is the kit the Ex-Dragon one?

I am now looking at chevron 4 just need to check if my decals have the white outline ?
The Kagero book shows this in 75/83 upper surfaces

Thanks mate.

This is my favourite scheme so far and if my decals match will be my chosen subject.

 

[Wurger]

Always you can switch to the one...

And one of the clour interpretation...

Brutal Wojtek but one day I'll pull it off.....saved for that day with all your notes

I like your choice Karl. I have the Dragon A-5 kit that I may tackle when my 109 is done.

Well my decals are good, black with white outlines !
So chevron 4 will be the subject i will try to depict, any help or thoughts on it are welcome.
