Question Model Ju 87 Stuka Paint Job Trouble

Hello,
I am not sure where to post this, so I figured the general area might be a good choice. I have only finished a few skins for IL-2/Pacific Fighters, but I have used what I learned doing that for something I find just as fun, model paper planes. I was working on making and painting WW I aircraft for a while, then one day my pet decided it should lay down on them and crushed every one I was working on, so I started working on some WW II aircraft. I have a photo of a German aircraft with a rather unique color scheme, I would guess it must be before or early in the war, I never got around to making a skin of it for IL-2/PF, but I tried to put it onto a 3D Stuka model, everything looked right when I viewed it in the program, it wasn't until I had it printed and was working on construction that I saw I had messed it up. The color bands on the wings should be fine, I'm pretty sure I just made one and rotated it to make the others, but the fuselage I am sure is messed up and I don't know how to fix it exactly, I've measured and re-measured it and it still comes out FUBAR.
Can anyone help? I uploaded them to an image site, I am guessing it probably is going to mess with their size and quality, not sure how I could put them up without the place distorting them. I guess I could email them to anyone who wants them.
Just in case... WARNING: This is meant to be a historical paint scheme, there is a swastika on the vertical stabilizer of the Stuka.

Oh, and if anyone wants I will rummage up the links to where you can download the original Stuka along with around 10 other planes on that site, and some of the other sites I know of where you can download free model planes. Thank you for any help.

Bye bye! Buy bonds!

How exactly are the stripes "messed up"? The images you posted are pretty tiny so its difficult to see what the problem is But yeah, please post the links to more of your work, my little boy loves stuff like that (er...ok, so does his Daddy )
