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 1920s´ "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 :)
