I recently completed a couple of minis as a part of a commission. They are a mix of 1/285th scale Raiden and 1/300th scale Scotia minis. Decals are I-94 Enterprise and Scale Specialties. All decals and minis were purchased from I-94 Enterprises. Now, on to a few more projects. Thanks for looking. Kevin Miscellaneous Miniatures, LLC miscmini.com I-94 Enterprises i-94enterprises.com

Thanks. Raiden – I-94 makes the He-111. |

Those all look great, but in particular the French camo jobs are spectacular. Did you base the shapes of the camouflage off pictures or just make them up? I have trouble just making camo schemes up, they end up looking like they were painted by some guy without a plan (which is basically accurate). |

Did you get the Scale Specialties decals from I-94? I'm going through their website but can't see them advertised. |

boy wundyr x, I used reference pictures where possible, usually finding 2-3 samples. After painting the reference patterns I would flip the pattern or slide it left or right to get similar looks for the a given unit. BattlerBritain, I picked up the Scale Specialties decals from I-94 as well. On my order, I just requested the decal on a separate line in the order spreadsheet. I wasn't sure that I-94 had all the decals but they did and they were very helpful with the order. Thanks for the kind remarks. |

Those look great. Shouldn't the French markings have a blue circle in the center? |

They're there. Glare makes it hard to see the blue, center circles in most of the roundels on the wing tops. They are easier to see on the fuselages of the fighters and the LeO.451s |
