Basically matured modelers (that doesn't mean I am one! ) do the historical replicas. But i think this isn't even worth to write, right?

Ano Davide.
But ,sometimes a modeller doesn't have any choice.I made a PZL P-24G some years ago.The fighter wasn't used by The Polish Airforces in September 1939 during The Polish campaign but I wanted to have it with the Polish markings.I like the 113 Squadron ones but there weren't any decals for it.As a result I was forced to make the ones myself.I know that the model is "what if" class but it looks good ( I think ).

Here some pics of my PZL P-24G with Polish markings.

Thank you,but some parts have been difficult to fix them together.Good Lord, give me much more patience.

Beautiful plane!! Great modeling!!! Always been partial to the planes with the high mounted wings just before the prop that served as fighters in WW2.

 

[Pisis]

Yeah, I like this "dwacatctyrzka". I love the way the bicolors were placed - you sure know it, Wojtek, but for the others - this was to make enemy's aiming harder.

Awesome job!

Yes,the white-red squares were placed in this way to make aiming harder.In addition I have to tell you that there had been made attempts to use a new camo shortly before the Polish campaign started.The new Polish camo would be similar to the German one.

BTW Thank you P38

 

[Pisis]

Wow, can you privde some pictures of the camo? Or was just just "on the paper"?

 

[Wurger]

Here two pics of P-11c "white 3" with two-tone camo scheme.The pics were taken in September 1939 near Pultusk after the a/c had been captured by German troops.The plane was flown by Cpl. Antoni Joda from 152 squadron. In September the 9th of 1939 during his recco patrol Joda was forced to land because of the engine failure.It seems that the dark green and the Polish khaki colours were used as the camo on upper surfaces and the light grey or light blue-grey on the lower ones.

source unknown.

 

[Pisis]

Hmm, interesting.

Cpl. Antoni Joda

That doesn't sound much Polish, rather Italian... Or it could be Antonín, than he'd be Czechoslovak.

 

[Parmigiano]

.. in Italian is Antonio

 

[Pisis]

I know

 

[Wurger]

Hmm,I have to check it but I think he was a Pole.His first name is popular in all countries.
in Poland Antoni,
in Italy Antonio
in England(USA) Anthon
etc.

[Pisis]

Ah, ok, thanks.

Ok folks, when I get the pics up, please don't be too mad at me. I still stink at painting, and the stupid brushes I use don't help much. I don't know if you guys go for this, but I try to keep detail lines, but apparently I should have thinned this new paint a bit because it covered most of them completely, leaving me to thing of taking a grey Sharpy and put in panel lines.
Here's one of my scifi models, although mine is set up with a comander antenna and a MG reminicent of the MP40. The green guy is the "cannon fodder" of the series, although the other side's Mass Produced stuff doesnt fair too well either. The other model is one I'm working on, which is the "good guy" or "hero" if the term can be used in a series that emphasizes the efforts of many to win a war, not just some uber powerful weapon. They're both 1/100th Master Grade models, which means there is internal detailing, and joint covers (see: pain in the but to put together, only to cover with armor later on).
As a side note, that massive gun was the first thing I put together, just cause its massive and cool looking ^__^

It's a bit strange.

 

[Wurger]

I don't agree with this.The brush is really a very useful tool.Your problem with painting is caused by the enamel you've used.What enamel do you use?

 

[MacArther]

Eh, I just use Testor's paint. As per the image stolen thing ::slapping self on wrist:: Bad Mac, Bad Mac. Anyway, I'll try the main link to both of them. As per the remark about the brushes, its not the type of tool I hate, just my particular brushes, cause most of them need to soak before I try modeling otherwise their bristles are as hard as rocks, no matter how much I cleaned them the last time I used them.
