Does anybody have a template or a link with WW2 German RLM colors with varation in shading for FD scale? It would be much appreciated :)

At that size it's hard to say something definitive, but it looks nice so far. :D
My only suggestion - and here goes my idee fixe :lol: - would be to make the "steps" (of the non-horizontal lines) of the "ribs" on the fuselage more "regular" relatively to outer contour and each other.

Note that after all they represent regular internal workings of the aircraft and in reality these lines don't go randomly (esp. they aren't spaced randomly one relative to the other), and also that the base drawings during resizing get bit deformed and therefore following lines of them needn't have to be too literal.

^^ Hey wait at least until it's completed! :D Lol, just kidding, but the truth is that it's just a glimpse of what i'm doing, and therefore it's in constant change, with the intention of claiming it.

And there are more models out of the pic which can't be seen.

Now they are Bombardiers, but were designed and initially produced (for quite some years) by De Havilland Canada.
