I made a Arado-234 by request, and here it is!

I really like the interior, it has a great field of view, I just wish it matched the plane a bit better (I feel the yellow clashes :/ ). I think it could look really good on some sort of drop ship though!

I couldn't find anything else to make it out of, perhaps I could use KerbPaint to change them to the same color as the fuselage? Would that be better?

Well I think the Yellow looks OK on the cockpit, it reminds me of industrial machines like bulldozers and such. I think panting the rest he plane yellow would probably look great. Do what you feel is best, it's your craft. 

(I didn't know Kerbpaint was still around. Huh, did the author pick it up again?)

No, some people have modified the config files, etc, and got it working a little bit, I'm trying to find someone with a working version, so that I can KerbPaint this, but no-one seems to know where to get one that's been updated, although, some people have been doing it recently on some B-21 bomber designs, etc.

Nice shape, try using the Barometers for the cockpit though, you can double them up so they're grey on both sides. A good start!

Actually, painting the whole plane yellow would fit the germans.  Please observe the 109 engine bloc, and the undersides of the captured wellingtons, b-17s and b-24s.

PS the dual flameouts on the third picture represent the reliability of the late-war german vechiles very well.  The allied bombing made the german things have almost as many random productions defects as the russians.

Mind finding me a working version of KerbPaint?

Only captured vehicles were painted entirely yellow, and usually they had some kind of different paint on the top, and no Arado-234 was ever painted yellow.

Those flameouts occurred due to a lack of air, so I clipped some air intakes into the fuselage, there is a weasley clipped into one of the middle fuselages for added thrust, and realistic performance.

Allied bombing didn't give them defects, they were the second axial flow jet engines ever produced, and ran in an aircraft, with enough thrust to bring it off the ground, the first was used in the He-178.

i think a few German prototype aircraft that looked like allied planes, particularly spits, got some yellow too.  

Sadley I don't have a working kerbpiant.

production defects did increase though because of two things: A, allied bombing resulted in factories being a bit jurry-rigged.  B, Ironing out problems took backseat to production speed
