I'd love to paint (or decorate) the planes I build in wild non-scale color schemes. I have been meaning to learn how to use an airbrush for a while.
I have been building a Fw-190 and I kind of hate to put the swastika on it. I found a picture of a capured fw-190 with US markings. I might use that.
But many of the ww2 airplans were used as racers, so I don't think anyone has to stick with how a particular plane actually was a painted.
Scale doesn't have to be a burden. A project to build Stuart little's plane would be fun. You could do it in 1'= 1' and still have a small model.
No matter how they are finished, I love to see them fly.
