i dont think we have the same buttons, i only have the insert quote button.
yes, i made the decals in paint ^^ 3x3 mm big, and the swastikas are little smaller. i bought a decal sheet for my printer and made some in paint, i cant do US decals that small, and they get blurry if i shrink them in gimp :/ so those i paint on.
i only posted 1 plane each, the rest looks almost the same, just different camo pattern on UK and German fighters.
I cant find any insert image button :/ and i cant post liks anyways…
I have uploaded some fighters and Bismarck, Tirpitz, Admiral Hipper and Prinz eugen if you want to see.
the sites i have used are:
Ship camo from ww2, all US ships. shipcamouflage.com/warship_camouflage.htm
Alot of German ships. bismarck-class.dk/miscellaneous/book_reviews/classic_warships/classic_warships_wp_23_italian_h_cruisers_book_review.html
Japanese carriers at midway: midway1942.org/ships/ijn_cv_akagi.shtml
Ok thanks. This is first time i try to paint anything like this, i have painted some airplane models before, but not much. I saw a painting thread here and got inspired so i found my old humbrol colors and started to paint. I wanted to paint them kinda accurate, historical and with difference between the countries. So i chose the 1944 color scheme for the americans and the baltic camo for the germans. I will try to post the real color scheme next to the piece so you can compare :)
I have also painted some ships that were sunk in 1942, but who want to play a ww2 game without Bismarck?
I have chosen to paint real ships, not just a class. So for the germans i have painted Bismarck, Tirpitz, Admiral Hipper, Blücher, Prinz Eugen, Seydlitz and Graf Zeppelin.
For the americans Iowa, New Jersey, Missouri, Wisconsin, Hornet, Enterprise, Yorktown and Intrepid.
For the Japanese Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Hiryu and Yamato.
I also have painted some fighters and bombers. I will soon start with american cruisers.
Tips and ideas for british ships are welcome!
What alterations? :P I put up the original paint scheme next to my pieces that i painted. Not exactly, but close enough ^^
Hey, i am currently painting my 1942 set, if you want, and if theres an interest i could post some pictures of what i have painted this far.
If so, how do i post images here? Im a total noob when it comes to these kinda things.
