Spent the weekend recovering from a cold. But still tried to get some work done. I got some paint on an Ro37bas. I started work on two others but came to the conclusion, how many observation aircraft am I really going to have on the table at a time? I may paint up a second one. This time, I tried to get something like the three fasces. I didn't do that great but at least it is not just a dot. In the picture, you can see a fourth Ro.37 that is undercoated but will likely not be completed.
I am looking at the collection at the moment.

The goal is to have a complete Squadriglia/Squadron/Staffel of 12 aircraft for each fighter unit and a few bombers. I don't think I will have a full squadron of 12 bombers for anyside except for the Sm.79s. I am looking for the right paint scheme. I am actually hoping for a simple one. For Bag the Hun, I still need to finish up the first day of the Operation Battleaxe game. I have 2 more games to run for the day. One will be for the German Staffel and one for the South African's, I think. Hopefully, I will play those soon. I think I will have the Germans escort the Ju87s again in one. Not sure what I will do with the South Africans. Depending on how fast I can paint Lysanders or Blenheims, that may impact the mission.
I was also given some early Father's Day presents. My wife gave me a VSS paint set for Operation Barbarossa. And some cornfields. These may be a bit big for 15mm and will likely be used more for a garden plot rather than a large field. But who knows how I will use them.
Very grateful for these. I am still holding out hope for some Luftwaffe paint sets but will patiently wait.
I managed to undercoat some British Blenheim bombers as well. Hopefully those will get some paint soon.
