These paint jobs were mostly done at haste with paint that had been thinned to cover more area and made from second rate materials.
Therefore when airbrushing camo there SHOULD be inconsistent depth of color due to some of the pattern being skipped when the painter went back over it. Brush painting SHOULD have tiny streaks to scale with a 4" paint brush used in the field. If we are going for realism these minuet details are swallowed up anyway under the weathering but do add to the overall look of a model. Personally, I would say the only thing a person could do to really ruin a German camo job and any camo job for that matter is to put the paint on too thick either with a brush or airbrush.
