Hi, i appreciate very much the idea to make some comrade skins to get a schwarm or more.
Just for info: In late august 1940 the Germans painted the engine cowling either completely yellow or left them in the camo. Most emils - like Uffz. Perez white 4 from II/JG26 - had the complete yellow cowling. Yellow engine undercowlings appeared after the battle of britain, widespread on the Friedrichs.
I would like more weathering on your emils, they are looking very 'new' to me (in restored/polished up museum condition). The yellow paint looks very bright and 'shocking'. I would like the yellow a bit more reddish.
Best wishes
