I like them but I still think a slight desaturation or an increase in transparency would do the paint some good.   Nothing major.   Just a little.

I have to agree in regards to the Italian job.  It "jumps" out at me a little.

JG I./53 Yellow six, but I'm not sure if the markings are correct?

What reference do you have for that scheme?

I'll tell you straight away that the markings do not match the unit. The vertical bar aft of the cross would be for a III Gruppe machine, not I Gruppe. Planes in I Gruppe would just have the side number.

The yellow cowl ring would be accurate for a I Gruppe aircraft since they were operating from airfields in Czechoslovakia and Hungary late in the war. But they would not likely have the black band on the tail. III Gruppe would be the opposite since they were in Germany.

Also, your color of the German crosses is very peach looking. It's very apparent on this skin but also like this on your other K-4's.

Devil, you might mention the leading edge blending technique also.

Like I said, your skin and this other one based the same material have mixed elements. which are contradictory.

I did some searching for reference photos and this is the closest I could find to your skin's scheme.



This does seem to be a I/Jg 53 aircraft with a light colored cowl ring and black tail band. It's a G-10, which is fine for the AH K-4. I'd say that you adjust the adjust the markings and cammo pattern to match the photo.

Here's a scheme that I think would be a good example of the fuselage paint pattern. The low contrast of the top colors makes me think that it may be painted in green and brown instead of gray and green.




Devil, you might mention the leading edge blending technique also.

Yes, it would be a good idea to not have pant colors change on a seam in the 3D model. Try panting the underside color on the leading edge of the upper wings and horizontal stabilizers and blending it into the top colors. Also, try blending your cammo colors across the seam in the upper cowling parts. I noticed these flaws in your other K-4's also.
