    Fw190A6 Sturmjager of Sturmstaffel1

    Hi Wurger As far as I can see, the kit's shape is mostly wrong in the fin/rudder area. The whole thingy should be scratch re-built, and I guess using a better 190 model (for instance Hasegawa or Tamiya kit) would be much easier.

    Post Your Models!

    Negative Creep, should you use default Academy decals or replacement stuff from dedicated sheets, the best way to have your decals stay in place is: -first apply them on shiny or smoothed camo paint, and use decalcote when applying. -then overspray the whole model with either matt or...

    New comer

    I guess most online games are now on v4.04, 4.05, or 4.08, and maybe your version (3.0) is not played online anymore. For skins, go here: Canon's IL2 Skins Really great stuff. For update patches, go here: Pacific Fighters | Ubisoft Be careful to install all patches in numerical order (you...

    Problems with PF maps

    I started buying IL2FB then patched it to v1.21, then added AEP and the dedicated patch, but when I installed PF, I have Pacific maps that don't work. I reinstalled everything in the same order but same problem. Is there a way I could manually copy the missing maps from the CDs?? or any other...

    Scratchbuilt

    I really love your SM85 Gerar. That bird had a very modern design for its time. And thanks for the tips. Definitely scratch building is the way to learn the best modelling techniques.

    Scratchbuilt

    Very nice work and tutorial! Gerar, you could also use your scratch models parts as masters and vacuform plastic parts from them; that way you could keep your masters to make several models out of them or sell part sets for guys who would like to build the same aircraft, considering the SM71...

    Coming soon to a CFS3 install near you

    Thanks; we'll soon play a Blitzkrieg CFS campaign including Battle of France. We're starting a whole Euro/North-Africa WWII campaign for CFS1 starting from Spanish Civil War to the fall of Berlin. Such a huge project is feasable with CFS1 as lot of stuff already exists and is rather easy to...
