Great stuff! I'm a fan already!

Loved the article you wrote.

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for tutorial, your camo is great and I was wondering for some time how to do it right :)

Next up: putting the 'special' in Special Forces...

Hm, @Stay On The Leader , how difficult would this be on the irregular hull of an HWK-290? I have one with whose paintscheme I am not at all happy with (failed NMM-gold, looks quite literaly like human excrement and is a victim of terrible colour-choices with purple accents) that would do well with some dazzeling up.

I think it's probably not ideal as the HWK doesn't have many large spaces to make it obvious what your camo is doing. But so long as you make the contrast and shapes clear enough you could pull it off I think.

Something that HWK has going for it is that although they're small all the surfaces are relatively straight and flat. WHen I was painting my Bomber & Punisher I found it hard to paint a triangle that looked like a triangle as obviously the wings are angled and the centre section tubes so they'd curve off. You wouldn't have that to deal with, at least.

Beautiful artwork, I am truly envious.

And a proper wingman for Duchess...
