The last step before I customize a plane for different pilots' paint schemes is to create a "generic" version of the plane, with all the common parts in the right color. That's the starting point for adding different paint jobs for different pilots -- all the national, unit, and personal markings are laid over that generic color scheme.
Here's what I'm working on currently: The LFG Roland D.VIa and D.VIb. (D.VIa shown)
This one was particularly tricky because of not only the lozenge wings but the clinker-built fuselage of wooden strips. The level of color detail is probably overkill for the 3D prints, but it looks better in the renders.
Now to pick out a few specific paint schemes! Fortunately I've got both Wingnut Wings guides and Windsock Datafiles for this one.
