Best of luck Alan. I'll be watching carefully how you go about it. I have a ZM He-219 and the squiggles is a camo option too. I need to learn all I can....

Another question if I may, Did Bf-110 G-4's use the squiggle pattern too? I know Do-217 night fighters and Ju-88's did, but I've been out of the wing thingy end of the hobby for many years......
ARRRGH my eyes! Cramp in my hand too. But it's done. Bit rough around the edges but i think it'll suffice. I'm sure the guys that applied the paint in real life weren't so bothered about neatness and accuracy either.
Not like on my He-111. But they did do the 'dot pattern' as i called it. You see it on late war Ju88 and He219 nightfighters as well. I'm sure there is some technical German name for it.
Looking mighty fine Alan. Great hissy work!!!

I think your squiggles look spot on.
Some bloke stood on the wing, a ladder, whatever, and applied it with a spray gun. I always remember that when I'm doing something similar
Some Bf 110 G-4 night fighters got a very heavy squiggle (wellenmuster). It was applied with RLM 76 over RLM 75.
I'm sure that the example in the RAF museum has been re-sprayed incorrectly, the wrong way round if you know what I mean. It's is a shame as it is one of only two extant Bf 110s in the world.

Alan,
That has turned out beautifully a real credit to your skill. Very, very well done indeed. And as you say, blends nicely with the V1.
Keep up the great work...... Once of course your eyes and hand have got over the experience!
