[Lucky13]

D*mn....! I was kinda hoping that you wouldn't notice if was careful, cunning and devious enough.... Thanks a million for any help that you're willing to hand out, without jeopardizing your future work Erich....

I've got at least another 13 from JG 301 to post up, gotta find it first

well this is not the one but a different Dora this time from 7th staffel, yellow 13, no trim color on it. wrk nummer 210 919 in combat with Mustangs of the 479th fg on 14 February 1945. Oberfeldwebel Helmut Stöber shot down over Leipzig. this is one of 3 Dora-9' s from the Jg that I am researching with German contacts. I find no claims by Stöber during the war.

Thanks Erich! Very much appreciated indeed!

[Lucky13]

Cheers Andy, very much appreciated! They only have it in 1/72! Now I'm annoyed...!

 

[Lucky13]

Here's another one Andy, but without the "Lucky 13".....

Nice stuff Jan paints and decals....beware Yellow 13 of Wilhelm Crinius is not in Desert colours....

It isn't? Do you have profile of the machine Wayne, showing correct colours?

Edit: Is this wrong as well then? Aircraft illustration

Check 'Wayne's award winning models' from post #522-#628 and you will have the general idea....

 

[Lucky13]

Forgot about that Wayne one...

Here's another one Andy, but without the "Lucky 13".....
"Watch My Form" - Dressing up Eduard's Profipack P-40N

Now that's a sweet model!

 

[Lucky13]

Hope to find those in 1/48...would fit right in with my "13" collection! The last one's missing the "Lucky 13" though..... 8)

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]

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]

This is their 72 008 decal sheet....

 

[Wildcat]

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.
