thumbsup especially the green Zero with its faded camo is looking gorgeous.

Did you try a Japanese fighter camo with bare aluminum shining through in different amounts - fading to the tail or vice versa?

Thx a lot band

Fran, I've got a kamikazi that is close to what you ask for. I think it is slated for one of the Mos Squad expansion packs for SPAW.

Really? thatīs fine - Iīll grab it smile

Iīve read in an article that the Japanese didnīt mind the extreme fading of their camos but they appreciated it producing the effect deliberately. Added a lot to their camouflage breaking the contours of their planes additionally wacky

And bare aluminum did not corrode - the US proved this in late-war wink
