looking good catch, i also have the same probs with cameras

lesofprimus · 01-08-2009, 05:08 PM

Lookin good Cory.... Cant believe u forgot the stick man......

Catch22 · 01-08-2009, 05:15 PM

Thanks guys!

Dan, I'm bad for that. It got in before in went into the fuselage so it's all good. I leave gunsights out all the time, then have to cram them in once the canopy's on. Not fun!

I'll post pictures later of the fuselage. I have it together, and all the wings are on. I'm really at the painting stage, so hopefully I can do that soon. I'm just still not sure exactly what colours I need yet.

Catch22 · 01-08-2009, 08:13 PM

Also, I assume this bird would have the ETC rack?

Wayne Little · 01-08-2009, 10:06 PM

Cory will post a short 2 page PDF note for you later today to give you some food for thought on the camo colours...will be keen to hear others thoughts on my note as well....

109ROAMING · 01-08-2009, 10:17 PM

Looking good mate!

Catch22 · 01-08-2009, 10:41 PM

Thanks guys!

I'm sorry, I forgot to get the pics up! I will do that tomorrow.

And Wayne, I'm really looking forward to it, thanks mate (if I may use that term)!

Stay away from the pot and the grass and you'll see thing are much easier..

Sounds good about colours Wayne; I'm a bit hazy regarding late-war schemes myself - not too bad with the greens, but it's that one that is brownish - Braunviolet I think it's called? Can't remember the RLM number, I'll have to look at those cross-refs that Jan sent.

lesofprimus · 01-09-2009, 05:21 AM

RLM81 is what ur lookin for Terry....

Wayne Little · 01-09-2009, 06:10 AM

here is the little note I whipped up....below...for your thoughts...

Now to start with the colours....

Eagle Editions :
Upper Surface & Wings RLM 75 Gray-Violet/RLM 83 Dark green possibly RLM 74 Gray-Green.
Lower Surface RLM 76 Light Blue

JaPo :
Upper Surface : Fuselage RLM 83/ RLM 82 Bright Green. Wings RLM 83/76

Nice piece Wayne! (sorry I haven't the knowledge to comment but it looks Fantastic!)

That is one cool looking plane!

Airframes · 01-09-2009, 07:23 AM

Wayne, would I be right in thinking that the pictures you have of this D9 are halftones, in books? If so, could you e-mail me a SAME SIZE copy as in the book, of one, or both, and I'll check the dot sizes etc against a grey scale comparator. I'm assuming that the fairing for the armoured head-rest is RLM 66, so that will give me a starting point in the greys.
Obviously I can't promise anything definite, as there are so many variables regarding the reproduction, and of course electronic transmission; but with a print-out I might be able to give some pointers. When you are scanning the pics, set your scanner for a coloured image, NOT black and white, grey scale or line.
Cheers,
Terry.

lesofprimus · 01-09-2009, 07:49 AM

Great stuff Wayne, I would definatly say that there is NO RLM76 anywhere on the wings now....

Airframes · 01-09-2009, 08:41 AM

Forgot to say thanks for the RLM number Dan!
