{detailed description}A stimulating, thought-provoking new look at the methods of obtaining indisputably authentic color schemes for models of Luftwaffe aircraft and of applying that knowledge to improve them, whether for competition or for fun.
Produced in response to a frequently expressed need by modellers for more color photographs, camouflage patterns and stencilling information, this book features over 200 fascinating photographs from many of the world's best private collections, plus an eagerly awaited Luftwaffe color chart of 30 hand-mixed chips, some of whose most important colors have never been published before.
The authors, all accomplished aeromodellers in their own right, come to grips with such difficult questions as the hitherto unexplained variations between "official" German camouflage colors and those actually used on aircraft, interpreting photographic and other primary evidence, evaluating previously published (but not always correct) information, determining a particular aircraft's camouflage pattern, achieving contest-winning standards of realism, and finally, validating the authenticity of one's models. Intended for use in conjunction with the "parent" series, Luftwaffe Camouflage and Markings 1935-45 Volumes 1, 2 and 3, this publication describes all the main Luftwaffe aircraft color schemes both verbally and by means of a handy quick-reference table. Complete with separate colour chart.
