Unofficial group build: 'After the battle'

[dirkpitt289]

I just stumbled onto this thread. Has anyone started anything yet? I recently purchased another Hs 129 but one of the props is busted so I should be able to build it to meet the requirements of this build.

Another one I've always wanted to build that I'm surprised no one mentioned is the underwater wreck. I think it would look cool as hell but would take a lot of work.

Dirk, I´m going to build an diorama about the wreck too, I got an Me-109, and now I´m collecting some pics about the 109 wrecks....

I think that this kind of diorama is so nice !!!

best regards,

best regards,

let me guess in 1/144 scale right? I'm still waiting to see the Stuka/ 262 dio to be finished. As always I can't wait to see your next project. Truly amazing stuff you do.

[Lucke.stz]

Dirk,

Yes, it will be done on 1/144 my favorite scale.

About the 262 project, I´ll return to it soon, I´m finishing this week the FU4-Corsair 1/48 to a client of mine , so I´ll can work on this project again

Great ideas guys! Really looking forward to seeing how your Ju 87/ Me 262 build pans out too Lucas!

As co-founder of the thread idea (the other is Heinz), I feel a bit guilty not having started my own projects yet... Hoping to organise the time for them shortly.

Maybe one of my extra kits (doubles) and make one with a p-51. But that"ok be way down the line.....

Thanks for reminding me Evan

Forgot I was a founding member!!

Gave it some thought today and found this shot of a 112sqd Kittyhawk that landed badly in a dust storm. This also has some significance for me as I have photos of 112sqd Kittyhawks taken by my Grandfather who was a desert rat.

Great site there Alex! Some nice Bf 110 subjects for this thread in there too!

You've just spurred me on guys! I forgot about the Fire Dump Spit! It's been sitting at the back of the W.I.P. 'storage bench', hidden behind other stuff - I'll see if I can get it finished in it's current thread, then post the final pics here.

[A4K]

Sounds good Terry!

[109ROAMING]

Second that!

[A4K]

G'day guys!

Thought it was time to revive this thread.

My first project for this is (of course) my Me/Fw Group build entry, Fw 190D-9 Braunen 4 (W.Nr.500647).
When completed, I'll post pics up here, in the meantime you can follow construction here:

Hope to see more builds here too!

Call me silly, I'll join up.
But I need an airplane identified!
Whazzat?

[Airframes]

Finnish Air force Brewster Buffalo - I think !

[A4K]

Good to have ya aboard Bill!

Yep, Terry's right, Brewster B-339 Buffalo, pulled up in fantastic condition and unfortunately gone to the 'States. This is the last known surviving Buffalo.

I don't know what scale you want to do this in, but there are atleast 6 kits in 1:72:
Older 60's/70's kits - Airfix, Matchbox, Revell USA (nice little kit);
New tool - Hasegawa (2 or so versions I think, including Finn) and 2 or 3 versions by Special Hobby (great kits, injection moulded with full resin cockpit and engine)

Look forward to your build!
