Looking a bit frosty today
This is a new one on me as never done a winter Camo before but how hard can white be
These would have been painted in the field and its hard to find 2 the same in the old pics
Under this white is quite a lot of masking fluid over greens so not sure what this will look like once its dry and i can remove the masking.
Decals will be a bit odd as they will be over the white where as i expect they would have been on the green and just painted round with the white but hey ho

Really nice work. There winter planes were heavily weathered, as you surely know. It is such a fine balance to achieve. Good luck finishing it.

Here we go then, Hase G2 tank buster with Aires resin and a small amount of PE
Note: the G2 had no sirens or dive brakes, wing machine guns etc so no bomb aiming through the floor either
Lots of placard type decals left off as i think they would have been over painted with the Winter white, not easy to photograph a white plane on a white background so bear with me These Aires kits promise a lot but its really hard to make them deliver , i keep doing them when i can still find the hasegawa models to build with them but they never leave you feeling happy with what you have done. Maybe its just me. I have fitted the bottom engine cowl because i couldn't for the life of me see how the radiator mounted. Even searching other builds on line i still couldn't reconcile the parts i had to the other builds or the instructions. I use the term loosely as Aires dont really do instructions as such
Already my mind is drifting towards the Re issued Airfix Bentley 1/12 but a quick look inside the box says "you need to re spoke these wheels paddy" and there are 5 of them with 70 spokes each....thats 350 spokes...700 holes.........i need a cup of coffee

Nicely done - love winter cam Stukas. 
I would have gone harder on the weathering though - just my preference.
