Looks good, but I will suggest to saturate the colors just a little bit more. At the present moment they are a
little "matte". Unless you are trying to make it look more "weathered" or sun-backed, which is what it looks like now.
When something is out in the sun for too long, the sun usually "bakes" and dries the shiny paint and
makes things look more "matte".

Are you trying to make this version? ... I like this version 


If you are using Photoshop, there is a color-drop-picker in your tools palette which you can pass over this photo and select
 the colors you want, then all you have to do is apply those colors to the skin you are creating.

For a more precise color-picking method to get the correct airplane colors, I usually try to find good close-up photos (with no lens effects)
and  then select the colors from them.
I found this website with nice close-up photos of this airplane...

Hi max i have photoshop but I dont know how it works  but i'll try your plane

if you arent using photoshop Jager, may i ask how you are making your skins? Photoshop is a BETTER tool, but I use GIMP usually. Its fairly powerful, and its free, and i find it easier to navigate than photoshop. just my opinion.

Skins look great by the way! Keep it up!

Don´t worry Jager,
your doing fantastic skins, I like them very much - Cool skin-Art! 

I have been using Photoshop for along time and its easy. You can get free Beginners tutorials all over the internet.
Just do a quick search for it in Google.

Here is one very easy tutorial...


No matter what, never stop painting. Get creative and make your own cool art.
Enjoy your skin-art and fly them in your favorite airplanes.

Remember always that there are many MANY ways to make or paint a skin. Everyone has their own style and technique, but
what matters is, that YOU like them.
What ever color or style you create is Great.   Many people have diferent opinions and tastes in skin-art (some people like to
see more rivets and some don´t like to see rivets     )  ... but what matters is,  that YOU like what you create!
