I knew it was a 'jnewboy' auction just by the title. The luftexpert strikes again.

Regardless it is a unique paint scheme.

I would believe him better if he showed an actual picture from the eastern front.

Lots of work nonetheless.

Aww Yes . The famous squiggle pattern. Almost every single Luft aircaft he has made has this same pattern.

I am no expert but on the back cover of the Squadron Signal Stuka book they have this same pattern. It is of a night fighter a " G" model with flame shrouds for the exaust.
The squiggle lines are in SKY BLUE NOT WHITE.

I have never heard of a early snow pattern. I am not saying that there was notone but I have never seen it in any of my reads.

Not that much of a paint job. Anbody can do the same using a white out bottle with the foam aplicator that comes in it.

Actually it is a good idea . Just not worth $250.

Some day soon I will do a winter version Stuka. I hope mine will turn out a little bette :? r than this.

i've seen that camo on ju-87D's, never on a B model, which is probably why he didn't post a picture of the real aircraft painted that way.

Camo patterns like that makes you think that the german's had a lot of time on their hands, not that they were fighting for their very existance. :lol:
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

I have seen stukas like this but Not Very white squiggles. It should be more of a sky blue color.

All he did was take the Rudel stuka paint squiggles, add a squadron decal in the front swastika in the back, and repaint the spinner+ some easy weathering. :roll:
