Calendar testing...

[Clave]

I don't know if 'Dogfight Doubles' is trademarked to Airfix...?

So I'm calling it 'Dogfight Legends' provisionally.

This is a really, really, basic layout:

I'm still selecting aircraft from 'stock' as much as possible, and I have the following possibles to pair up:

Allies:

Bell P-39
Boulton-Paul Defiant
Chance-Vought F4U
Curtiss P-40E
Dewoitine D.520
Hawker Hurricane - Mk 1, Mk2B, Mk2C
MiG-3
North American P-51-D
Spitfire Mk1, Mk2, Mk5, Mk6, Mk7, Mk8, Mk9, Mk14, Mk16, Mk18, Mk21
Westland Whirlwind
Gloster Gladiator Mk1, Mk2
Breguet Bre-19 (Thinking Spanish Civil War here)

Axis:

Bf-109-E3
Bf-109-E4
Bf-109-F2
Fw-190-A4
IAR-80
Fiat G.55
Avia B-135
Kawasaki Ki-61
Me-163
Me-262
Nakajima Ki-84
Heinkel He-51 (Thinking Spanish Civil War here)
Arado Ar-68 (Don't know what to think here)

Anyway, pairing ideas/other ideas/suggestions welcome!

Oh, and I have the Avia B-534 Mk1, 2, 3, 4 - but have little knowledge of their combat record...

Like the look of that keep us informed but it would have to have at least one bird with RCAF codes

 

[GrauGeist]

Wow Clave, nice job!

How about a North Africa (circa '42) combo:
MC.202 Hurricane MkIIc

Can't wait to see more!

 

[Lucky13]

Great stuff buddy!

 

[mudpuppy]

The idea sounds great, looking forward to your progress on this. Excellent profiles, by the way.

 

[Thorlifter]

I like it Clave.

Mudpuppy, if you didn't know, Clave is our resident artist extrodinaire on aircraft profiles.

 

[Airframes]

Very nice indeed, Clave. I like the theme and concept.

 

[mudpuppy]

Clave, you do have some skills with profiles. That Ki-61 is painted in some really vivid colors, but so many pictures I have seen of Japanese paint schemes have significant chipping and weathering. Did the JNAF and JAAF not have access to high quality paints or was it a matter of technique, I wonder?
I'm reading an Osprey book of Japanese Aces and that Hein looks great!

I have decided to do these to scale... I have some issues to sort out still, but I'm getting there...

 

[mudpuppy]

Looks Great! So are the time frames of the planes going to progress as the months go by? that would be cool.
