Any reference about interior colors of this plane? also, any idea on how to do a winter camouflage on Luftwaffe palnes?
Thanks

Thanks Swanny.
One last question,
I’m trying to represent this model on a night camo, the one with those “weird-crazy” gray lines all over the upper part of the plane.
Any idea about how to not to die on the attempt??
Besides, my wife’s Xmas present was the Aztek A7778 airbrush (the metal one), which has 8-9 nozzles and some other things.
Have you ever used/have an idea of this airbrush?
Thanks for share your ideas.

Your wife bought you an Aztek airbrush!!! That might be grounds for a divorce!
Sorry but I am not a big fan of Azteks, some folks can make them work but I am not one of them. Take a look at my Do-217 build under the Axis tab on my site. I did one of those schemes there. I found that thinning the paint about 50% and using a low air pressure at close range worked pretty well. I also practised on a scrap piece of wing first to get the feel of it.

Swanny, which one? I see four Do-217’s.

Mitch,
The M-11 conversion is the one Swanny talks about.

Swanny,
Please, do not give me good ideas about my wife!!! Anyway, thanks for your help.

I have to speak up as an Aztek user. It’s a fine airbrush, and the only one I own. Then again, I have only been airbrushing for about four years. Anyway, to get good fine lines, use the tan/sand colored nozzle with a low pressure setting. Also, turn that knob on the body towards the left until you find a comfortable position on the trigger for the right control. A lot of this knob-turning has to do with personal preference, so play around with it. I’ve used it a lot lately, and it’s worked great. Play with it a while, and I’m sure yours will turn out great. Good luck and happy modeling.

Blakjak,
Since this will be my first experience with Azteks, I really appreciate your help. Do you have an idea about the use of the other nozzles that come in the box (7 I guess?)
