Here are some more images of Dragon Models (former Aurora/ESCI molds) 1/9
scale Sd.Kfz.2 Kleines Kettenkraftrad HK 101. This in my not so humble opinion is the ultimate
motorbike (if you could call it as such). I often see this model done in Africa corps yellow, panzer
grey or the dark yellow/red brown/dark green colour scheme. So I decided
to do mine in winter camouflage. The winter scheme is more complicated
then at first may appear. First I painted it in the three tone colour
scheme, then I apply decals, then I applied heavily thinned white paint
to give it a white wash appearance and finally weathering. If you come
across any of the old 1/9 scale Aurora/ESCI motorcycle model kits or
their re release counterparts by all means buy them as they are
beautifully detailed and an absolute joy to build and in my opinion one
of the best kit series ever produced.

Looking at historic photos of German armor last night, I noticed most of the numbering was hand painted. Neatly done, but not nearly so neat as decal sets would have it.
Have you come across kits with decals that reflect this?
Only when it comes to Soviet armor it seems.
Often symbols and numbers were sprayed on using stencils.
