13's.... - Page 7 - Aircraft of World War II

Hope to find those in 1/48...would fit right in with my "13" collection! The last one's missing the "Lucky 13" though.....

Wildcat · 01-14-2009, 02:47 AM

AFAIK the Lucky 13 part was written in chalk just prior to takeoff. "Watch my form" being the 13th a/c assigned to fly that particuar mission.
If anyone knows who makes them in 1/48, please drop me a link, as it's one of my favourite P40's

Lucky13 · 01-14-2009, 03:04 AM

It says that it's Tally Ho! Decals, but I can only find them, with the "Lucky 13" in 1/72 from them....even though the article says it's 1/48.

Lucky13 · 01-14-2009, 03:30 AM

This is their 72 008 decal sheet....

Wildcat · 01-14-2009, 03:38 AM

Cheers, though 72 is out of my league!

I'll be sure to advise you if I find them in 1/48.
BTW HU-N also carried this nose art. I can't remember which was first though.

Crikey Wayne, that's a few...!

Thanks a lot mate!

Erich · 01-14-2009, 02:25 PM

well Jan look what I found

Stab II./ZG 26 Leutnant Paul Kaschuba, Ofw. Karl Bredemeier, Me 410B-2 wrk. # 710241, Blue 13 + -

lost in action 1 km East of Plauen on may 21, 1944

lesofprimus · 01-14-2009, 02:41 PM

Now THAT would be a good one to do....

Lucky13 · 01-14-2009, 03:00 PM

What the....!?

Never in my life I'd expect to find a Me 410 numbered "13"! Thank you so very much Erich, very much appreciated!

Just need to find a '410 then....

How's these for Heinz Bar's A-7?

Don't mind the Blue 1, 4 and 13 here, they're purple....

That's why they sent and extra sheet with better colour....

Erich · 01-14-2009, 03:06 PM

well the red 13 for Bär's rig looks a bit compressed the guys whomever do up the decals need to get things historically correct .............look at the year they put down after Darmstadt.............geez

I could be all wrong but that blue 13 decal might be a good choice for the Me 410B and I can almost bet it was NOT a long 5cm cannon bird as well, most likely had the 2cm waffen pod under the fuselage and the other 2-4 cannons - 2cm up front
