Well ... It *IS* weathered!

But I have been trying to get the paint to look a little worn.. I just can't figure out the best way. If I just make it have a less than 100% opacity it looks darker, not worn. I'm not sure how the 109F skin with the yellow nose is done (I'm sorry I can't check it right now for the name), but something like that (to a lesser extent) is what I was going to try.

Looks awesome, Krusty.   The black strikes me as a tad too intense - is that x'000000'?    You might try dialing back the opacity on it if you see what I mean.   If not, still looks great.    I'm terrible in the A8 but want to give this baby a try out.

Curious - the mix in Luftwaffe marking style between the fuselage and wing surface - is that intentional?

Oboe, they're pure black that's set at 80% opacity (this helps a lot compared to "true black".

Also, I did the markings intentionally, based off what I saw in the decals and profiles available to me. What I might do is take off the thin black lines around the fuselage balkenkreuzes, as they may not have been there.

Those are just the camo colors. There were other colors as well.

I don't like that page. I've had it bookmarked for a while, but their colors are consistently off, as if the person that set them up had a poorly calibrated monitor.

Check out: http://jpsmodell.de/shop/jpsrlm_e.htm#rlm70

Much better color balances.
