Progress is slow.... :(

And Merry Christmas back at you :) Mate, after the last 18-24 months of Work, Health, and the CHAOS of COVID, I have effectively become a collector! hahaha That said, im now off for about 8 weeks, so once I finish fixing the front patio, I have a Garage I'm being 'allowed' to turn into a new...

Lucky13 - yes?

The re-written Volume 1 should not be far away either, along with a re-written Volume 2 in 2021, and Volume 3 in 2022...

Yup, the D-13 is missing the mechanical 'computer' that controlled the engine and connected it to the throttle. It was fairly advanced in 1945, and thus is beleived to have taken, disassembled and studied after the war by the US. If I understand correctly, even the idle circuit on the Champlin...

Whats a G-10/AS? There is G-5/AS, G-6/AS, G-6/AS/N, G-14/AS, etc... But a G-10 was just a G-10 as they all had the big AS engine. And they weren't just an Erla build; they were built at Regensberg and WNF Diana. From what I can tell, G-10/AS is just 'typo' sort of designation, following the...

The Australian entrant is the BATS: https://techcrunch.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/wingman2.jpg

The Ta's rarely got really high due to Pressurisation issues (ie: canopy seals didnt seal), and because the B-29 threat simply did not eventuate. A good number of Ta 152H's appear to have been fitted with the standard Fw190 blown canopy, as was the short winged Ta152E and BMW powered short...

It's Hobbyboss - and like Trumpter, what do people expect? Yeah they occasionally knock one out of the park - like their A-6 - and sometimes make some OK kits, like the F-111 family, (or in the case of Trumpter, the F-106A/B), but then there is the F-14's, A-7's, Tornado F.3, Fw 190D's, YF-23...

Woah, cool! Must download those later on... They're awesome! Now a slightly selfish question; are there any threads like this on the He 219A, Fw 190D, and Bf 109G; all of which were found in Czech territory in great numbers, late in the war? D

And no Wayne, I've not forgotten about your kill markings... There's a list I am juggling ATM though ;) D

I know Wayne and I talked about this more than once, while looking at MANY pictures. MY take on it was probably RLM71 (on the assumption that there were orders in place to use up remaining stocks of old paint first), and if I remember right, Wayne came down on the side of RLM70 (as that colour...

What I do: Cover the surface with tape, with a pencil do a 'rubbing' (like we all did with coins in school?), take tape off and stick on flat surface. Scan, trace over the curves with your favourite vector drawing program. For complex, compound curves, simply use multiple pieces of tape and...
