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.

I have seen stukas like this but Not Very white squiggles. It should be more of a sky blue color.
MR. OVER HAPPY OFFICE MAX WHITE OUT DUDE. thats him mr luftwaffe expert.
Although his planes are his best, way better than the vehicles.

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.
