Just bought my first German aircraft kit and I’m nervous to start it as the camouflage pattern seems a bit tricky to replicate. I’m more so concerned with how to address some of the patterns seen on the sides of the fuselage. I’ve wondered whether most people free-hand the replication or use templates or other masking techniques. Any advice, recommendations, tips, or tricks would be extremely helpful.

P.S; I’m fairly new to this group so I apologize if this type of post has been addressed previously..

TLDR: First time doing a German aircraft. Looking for some tips and tricks to replicate camouflage patterns on the fuselage.
