Nothing to comment on your piainting, it looks very good, but...  

For nightfighters, wouldn't it it be a better choice to go with the greys and darkblues instead of the standard yellows and greens?

Thats my .20 cents anyway.

Damn awesome, and it fits the uniform/equipment style perfectly.

Maybe the ochre is a bit bright, but the overall look is excellent, and even looks "Reichwehr" to me rather than "Wehrmacht", so you could always use it for 1920sī "President Hindenburgs Secret Zeppelinkommandotruppen".

Thanks guys, for your comments.

@ wayswatcher: I know some darker shades would match a 'night hunter' better, but I feared it might look dull and uninteresting that's why I went for the chosen approach!

And special thanks to Chris, now I might use the scheme for my Zeppelin Truppen as well ;-) And of course I will choose a slightly darker shade of ochre for the pattern!!!

Excellent stuff!  :mrgreen:  The camo looks amazing, and for what it's worth I think using the standard colours works really well. After all, they are pulp.

Looking forward to seeing the others when they are done.  :D

They are beautiful, a fantastic job on the camo, I originally suggested blues and greys but take it all back, they look very Pulp :)
