The Heinkels... i'd just use one Heinkel that i have.
Other wise i would be spending a fortune  Which i'd love to do don't get me wrong... i just cant |
You know theres a way to add specific decals to your planes just like in the game if you want to, and its also very simple procedure. Well at least for planes 1/32 or 1/16 scale
Here's how I turn my P51 from pacific theater to 332nd FG Red tails Lt lee Archer (though he flys a P51 B not a D)
First use a ruler to measure your current decals and get the dimensions so you know how big you need your new decals to be. match the paint to your plane and paint over decals.
Next open up word processor from microsoft and find the specific decals your looking for online. Print them on an transparent shipping label, then cut decals with a hobby knife and apply them to your model Or
the more complicated option but eassy for you hence you already know how to edit your own photos. Take a picture of the ingame decals, upload to computer and edit photos (I use paint program under accessories of my Pc), copy and paste them onto an avery transparent shipping lavel template, print, cut with hobby knife, apply to model, spray some enammel or thin gloss. and you will have your own sort of speak custumize decals
this seems to work for my RC models
ANOTHER hint: for white decals (USAF Stars) use regular shippin label (I spell it correctly this time hahaha)
