    Me too Dan! I'll just keep plodding on with my old, coal-fired airbrush! I have seen a reasonably good one at less than hald price though (£32), just waiting for some details to be e-mailed.

    This is late, but I'm at a crossroads.

    Due to the nature of my Fw 190 build, I don't think anything will be finished by the deadline.
    I've decided to put it on slow-build, and enter something else for the GB.

    Just to be completely different, would anyone have a problem with me entering a Henschel Hs 123B-1 of II/SG 2, as serving on the Eastern Front late '43 - mid '44?

    Thats not quite within the scope of this build man... We will be having an Eastern Front Group Build within the next year or so tho....

    I will be, most likely, putting up my 1/32 Ju87G-2 for that one....

    Alright, cheers Dan.
    As I understood it, the build was about the Defence of the Reich on all fronts, from late '43 to '45.
    I wanted to show that just as the Battle of Britain wasn't fought just by Spitfires, there were more than Focke-wulfs and Messerschmitts involved in the Reichs verteidigung...

    I can see your point Evan, and I do sympathise, but the Henschel was an attack aircraft, not a defence aircraft. Sorry mate, but it'll be great to see it in the East front GB.

    Ok, thanks Terry.

    Not sure what I'll do then. What counts as a 'defence' aircraft? He 162? Ta 152? Ar 234?

    Basically, anything that was countering the allied bomber, fighter bomber, or fighter offensive Evan. That is, acting as a fighter, or perhaps in the case of certain types, in support of fighters. For example, the Bf110's that dropped flares to assist the NJG's in their task. So, you'll be mainly looking a JG's, ErpGp's, and NJG's, plus, of course, specialised units such as JV44 etc.

    Ok, thanks mate.

    I think we need to clear up the build definition better in future, I completely misunderstood this one.

    I agree Evan ,I too was under the impression of "Defence of the Reich" Didn't know it was only one front

    I do believe Jan wrote up accuratly enough in the beginning.... In most cases, its about having a fuselage band...

    Reichsverteidigung

    Also, this is what Wikipedia have to say..."The Defense of the Reich (German: Reichsverteidigung) was the Nazi Germany campaign to "gain air superiority"in the European Theatre of Operations, particularly against the Allied strategic bombing during World War II. The campaign generally began with the Luftwaffe retreat from France and ended with the defeat of the Luftwaffe during the Battle of the Bulge."

    They have the dates as from September 1944-January 1, 1945, so I think that we'll do it from September '43 to VE-Day, May 7th '45...how does that sound chaps?

    He also mentioned 'on all fronts' in the last version of the build plan I read, Dan... guess ya's changed it in between.

    Should be pretty well informed if Donald Caldwell's in on it, Jan.
