Hello everyone.

Many moons ago, a friend of mine gave me some tips about painting the fighter planes of the Luftwaffe's top aces. He said that the fuselages had more of a soft edge between colors while the rudders and wings would be more hard edge. Looking at photos and other works, it seems like all the planes had a distinctive hard edge to their paint jobs. Should I mask off every place on whatever model I am building?

Also, is there a site in the Kit Maker Network solely devoted to aircraft?

Thanks.

Alex

Last time I checked, this is a network wide topic.
AFAIK(and it's not much), the camo was soft edge. I would recommend searching Google images for "luftwaffe".
