Now I know that you don't get anywhere near enough Luftwaffe subjects on decal sheets (he says with the greatest irony). Well, here is another from the Aeromaster catalogue of old. This one is pretty well duplicated in sheet 72-140.

From the top, the first aircraft is from 6./JG 300 and has the red Reich Defense band (which you have to paint) on the rear fuselage. This plane has no upper fuselage guns installed and all armor plating removed to improve speed.

Blue 4 is from 12./JG 5. In addition to its yellow rudder it has a blue spinner with a white spiral.

Next is black 12. This FW-190A-8 is  from IV./JG 3 and has a black spinner with a yellow spiral. The exhaust area is also painted black to an even greater extent than the two previous aircraft. This plane has the additional exterior armor. A template is provided for the fuselage armor though where you are going to get the canopy armor is beyond me.

From 14./JG 54 is red 11. It has no fuselage mottling and was most likely painted in RLM 81/82/76. Both the Reich Defense band and nose/spinner were painted in a non-standard light blue.

Finally, from 9./JG 5 comes this rather dark 190A-8. It is in standard colors, but painted in a most unusual pattern. There is almost no fuselage RLM 76 and only a touch on the fin.
