Thank you Tempestjohnny! Thanks for the visit!

I don’t know why the German High Command and the guy with the bad temper decided to go with the boring scheme they went with instead of something like your version Toshi. It looks different and very good.

Thanks plasticjunkie! I wanted to do something that was different.

Glad to see “T” is getting back to normal and feeling better…5 days since the start according to the calender here. Almost back to normal speed. LOL

Very nice job, and you are starting to branch off the normal “follow the directions and paint it this way” page. Nice to see. Well done my friend.

I looked around google and saw only an example of this Luftwaffe scheme. Thanks for the visit.

[Toshi]

wow impressive I too like the late camo better than 71/70/65

Thanks crown r n 7. I tried something that was a Luftwaffe example I found on Google.

You did it to me again, I drop in to check progress since your start and you’re finished.

Nice work, and I too like the camo scheme, Toshi.

It took me sometime to figure out the camoflauge, I’m glad you like it.

In their defence, it was only a prototype. Had it entered service, i have no doubt it would have got a much more interesting scheme.

I never thought of that. Very interesting!

I know the Pfeil never went operational but i recall seeing the scheme specifications in one of many Luftwaffe directives regarding the RLM use on fighter/bombers. I’m sure changes to the directives would had eventually occurred specially on field applications.

Max sez; EXCELLENT for sure! The whole package looks good.

Really, now i didn’t know that. I had simply thought that Dornier, being better kown for bombers rather than fighters, had just used stocks of paint they had to hand, especially given the situation at the time. Thanks for that info. I’ll have to try and look into that.

Toshi - I think this is one of your best builds, very nicely done, thanks for the post and photos.

You are welcome buddy. I’m trying to remember where in the heck I read that and saw the drawings with the splinter patterns and RLM colors.

Edit:

Here is one article I had in my documents section that I found while building mine.

Still looking for the other documentation I found while researching my build a couple of years back.

Thank you patrick206! As always, it’s my pleasure to post photos of my builds. It’s a great feeling to be able to share my builds with forum members and model enthusiasts!

Here are some B&W photos of my Phiel. Most if not all the original Phiel photos are in B&W so I thought this would be some cool pics.

You need to add a background and it will look like the real thing.

Ok, I’ll make sure that I’ll keep that in mind.
