    Preshading looks really nice, Reinhard (@grimreaper). I really like using AK Real Colors. Are you using the original formula paints or the new ones?

    first camo colour applied, RLM63

    the AK RC (old one) RLM63 my dad used on the Hs126 seemed a bit too dark, so this time he used Tamiya XF-20 Medium Grey

    he uses masks from LF Models for the splinter scheme

    the masks don´t fit completely the kit´s dimensions, so some corrections or additions with masking tape will be necessary

    after a bunch of vinyl masks, kabuchi tape and lost nerves, the camo is basically done, AK RC (old ones) RLM61 used

    still some corrections and touch ups to follow

    This is one of the more complicated camo designs that the Germans used, Reinhard (@grimreaper), so it is easy to see why it was difficult. Looks great.

    the pattern on the right horizontal stabiliser different between instructions and LF masks, decided to repaint it according to GasPatch

    on most profiles and paint instructions of various Hs123 there´s one gear cover brown and the other green or both blue
    but it seems that the cover halves on one leg were painted differently each
