| Wurger are you serious ? I'd love to have it if possible. by the way the box art is a bit corny. the ZG 76 bird did not have yellow under engine cowlings and Negative Creep: a fine rendition of that D-5 on the Ost front, it's a beauty !! E ~

| Totally awesome that Stuka in the Winter Camo but it looks like exactly the same markings as Germany at least to my eye... |

| Picked up a model and kit yesterday. First is a RAAF mustang MK IV. Point Cook base has the same plane flying at this time. For only $16Aus I thought it was a steal. Looks fantastic all bar 1 blemish in the rear fuselague.    Secondly picked up Academys T-6G Texan which is pretty cool, thank wingnutz as he inspired me to get it after seeing his great model in a thread.  Click on the photos to enlarge

| I've just looked at them.Well done YakFlyer. The B-17 looks very impresive.I though you should add a model of Fw 190 to your collection to make it much more complete.

| Hi Wurger, I actually do have tamiya's Fw190A3 and D-9 in there somewhere, possibly not visible enough? My favourite non-Spitfire. |

| A question for you all... How do you guys here do any of the camo for British and especially German planes without fancy airbrushing equipment? By the way Heinz... that mustang is FANTASTIC! Make & scale? |

| It is not so hard PJNC.Usually I mark with a pencil borderlines of the camo colours ( RAF for instance ) and then I paint the marked areas with a proper colour.If you want you can paint the lighter colour of camo on all model surfaces firstly and the next colour you can put on the model secondly.For instance : RAF camo Light grey or Dack egg blue or Sky type S on the lower surfaces and the Earth brown or Ocean grey on all upper surfaces.Then you can use Dark green colour on some areas of the upper surface.Certainly the layer of the first enamel has to be dry.I don't reccomend this way because the second layer of enamels makes " steps " on its edges that are clearly visible.Therefore it is better to paint colours one next to one.Besides If enamels aren't so dry you can obtain an interesting effect.The bordeline between them becomes smooth and looks like it would be painted with an airbrushes as shown in pics of my old Yak-1 fighter 1:72 model. The German ones you can paint with the same rules.You should remember that the borderline between two camo colours was a straight line mostly and the lower colour of the camo was also put on both sides of a fuselage up to half of it or even higher.There you can use paper self-adhesive tape to mask areas that you don't want to paint firstly.The main problem are small spots but for painting them you can use a brush (its thickness determines dimension of spots) which should be clipped as short as possible ( 1 or 2 mm of bristle).

| Hey PJNC the mustang is in 1:72 scale. Converted currency works out at $14US which is amazingly cheap for the quality. Easy Model is the name of the company but inside it reveals its affiliated with Trumpeteer which makes sense as the finish is first rate Theres a variety of models in the series, Spitfires, hurricanes, mustangs, focke wulf, Bf 109s etc they all have a variety of markings. There are 6 in the mustang series to collect.

| Thanks Wurger for the info about painting. I've always wanted to do a German plane but have been scared away by the fear of building it well but finishing it horribly wrong. Maybe I'll go look for a little 109 or Me262 or somehting and give it a go. Thanks for the info about the Mustang Heinz. I've previously built a 1:48 and am thinking about beginning a collection. I think I might give one of those 1:72 a try to see how I like it. |
