Actually the aircraft manufacturing after the heavy bombing of the factories was spread far & wide over the UK. They were running out of paint as aircraft were being manufactured at an incredible rate. They were having to freehand spray in some not having the masks for the camouflage. Some were even delivered to squadrons without camouflage to be applied by the squadron engineers.
Also a fact that the human eye does not have an abundance of receptors & therefore see a stark straight line, as viewed in the pictures below, being slightly faded. Now if you were a sparrow it has twice the number of receptors as a human eye & those receptors are in a very small surface. That sparrow will actually see a rabbit at 2 miles distance in a field. It would see the edge of camouflage as sharp as sharp & all the imperfections.
This gives an indication of a soft edge (for humans) which I refer to above rather than a sharp edge.. Like all things it is in the eyes of the beholder. There is a certain artistic nature in building models for me.
All I said was do a bit of research, but nice to know I do modelling wrong. And there is more camo than that applied to aircraft, NATO vehicles for example.

Looking at your work Karl that is far from the truth. Some very nice work there. Your interest in diorama is certainly mine as well.
