Those look like prewar prototype paint jobs, alternate history is becoming more popular. Anyone ever seen the comic book "Luftwaffe 1946" ? I'm glad WWII happened when it did, If it had started in 1945 we may all be speaking German, and in the very least there would be very few Russians around.
I don't think Ill paint my first Horton like that but I'm not saying I wont paint one like that!

I belive the Splinter Pattern will be my S-1 > You can't go wrong with this paint job.
But this looks cool as a WW 2 Style prototype

Hey Spike Dude- grey splinter is the way to go IMO...relatively an easy paint...Decals would be an easy make...looks good my man...Magister et simulacrum you are....

I recently bought a very nice custom Ho 229, done by our very own Hworth.
It looks quite similar to this one, but it is much better done. As you would expect from Harry.
