Tutorial on painting Luft camo? Opinions needed.

Post by flyboy_fx » Mon Jun 27, 2011 6:17 pm

Anyone want a tutorial on painting luftwaffe camo on a BF109g6? I was considering repainting one of them in a late war color scheme.




EDIT: I would like to get everyones opinions on this first one! It looks really cool!!!!

Sure, I am always interested in seeing other modelers painting techniques.

It does look like its off that movie but the guy I got it from had it labeled as off the game, whatever, I just thought it looked cool

IL2 cliffs of Dover is for PC. VERY realistic! I can't wait to get it. I think I will pick up Red Orchestra 2 first.

I intentionally stay about 6mo to a year behind in games so I can buy them cheap cause Im a cheap bastard, so right now IL2 is great, but I would like the new one if and when it comes to the PS3.

I hope we arent the only ones on here that play video games :lol:
