As they do with the RAF Pilots and full gear??

In skinning our planes, we all work with color. I thought it would be useful if the subject was considered in more detail.

I've cataloged RLM colors in one Farbtontafel and, in the process, come to appreciate both how difficult it must have been for the authors of these color charts to have assembled them, and to realize too that, while each is presumed to be accurate, it is more difficult to say which is authoritative.

There also is an annotated bibliography of the books that were consulted.

The table can't be posted here and has been linked instead to my website. If you click back through the pages, you'll soon end up confronting a series of essays on Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and early British history.

Nice you decided to go for the historical version of the snake stukas.

In my opinion the newsreel snake stuka pics are displaying two different stukas.
And none of them is showing the exactly same snake motive as T6+DP.
Compare the snake tongues and mouths, the pattern right behind the snake head, the little triangle marking etc.

There isn't a clear evidence for more snake stukas so far but it is assumed
there were...
