HEINKEL 51- RLM 63/ MARKINGS...

Those old biplanes really look good when done. They are also usually quite clean with minimal weathering and only a little dirt and oil from being flown.

HEINKEL 51- RLM 63/ MARKINGS...

I'm in awe, :notworthy

How did you get the swastika decal around the rigging?
 
HEINKEL 51- RLM 63/ MARKINGS...

I just noticed the tail. It has the red band with swastika on one side and a 3 color band on the other. I am not sure if that is right. Seems like it is supposed to be one other other with both sides the same.

Here is a poor video I found but it does show both sides of the planes.
