I’ve tried priming these twice and the primer just won’t stick. Are these a different plastic somehow?
John Brown's Painted Axis and Allies Pieces

Phase Three of Five Camo Schemes of the German Luftwaffe
**German Luftwaffe Painted in the Desert Camo Scheme consisting of 28 planes, and I painted one Me-323 transport Plane in the Green Camo Scheme from the last phase of the Luftwaffe. I really hope you all enjoy these pictures. :-D
The first two pictures are of the Me-323 Transport Planes in the Green Camo Scheme and the Cheetah desert scheme.**
The desert sun beat down on the allied armored patrol as they were making their way through the canyons, but like a lamb left for the slaughter, the predatory big cats caught them by surprise, then there was nothing but carnage. The flames from the wreckage said it all. It was not a good day for the allies.
-
The next two pictures will have all the planes in the desert schemes together.
-
The next two pictures are planes in the cheetah desert scheme.

The next two pictures are what I call tiger desert scheme. Probably not historical accurate, but really wanted to do this for my set. :-D

The next two pictures are the regular German desert scheme.

Good call on the Tiger Camo - I like the look of it. The Stukas are my favorite (just in general).

Yeah, the stukas are my favorites as well. They are cool planes in general. Thanks, I just wanted something different and cool looking.
I’m glad you like them. :-D

Great work John, looking really good.

While it is good having historically accurate pieces, there is a lot to be had with artistic license :-D If we were painting for some one else we would make it that way but because we get to play with them we can do whatever colours or schemes we can think of. So yes, my airforce has artistic license as well.
