Done a rethink. Under consideration .........Messerschmitt Me 323E-2 (conversion of Italeri Me 323D).........

Now THAT would be cool!

OK all. Looks like the Me 410 will be posted soon. Any ideas for possible subjects?

Also, I'm considering another potential entry being the Ta 152 C. Apart from the protoype CI+XM which is the subject of the kit, current wisdom indicates the possibilty that a couple of these making it to Stab JG301. From Eagle Editions Decals description: "Ta 152 C-1/R31 Stab JG 301 W. Nr. Unknown April 1945 Welzow, Germany Luftwaffe Quartermeister Report dated 20 April 1945, shows two serviceable Ta 152 C-1/R31s on strength with Stab JG 301 stationed at Welzow. Unfortunately there are no known photos, but for the adventurous modeler, Green Stab numbers are provided for the modeler's choice. Standard Black chevrons were discouraged by JG 301's Kommodore Fritz Auffhammer". Can anyone (Erich?) shed any more light on this, without giving away book info of course! I think it would be neat to do a JG 301 bird if there's some factual data to back it up. And, BTW, what's the "R31" Rustsatz refer to?

R31 from Eagle Ed. book refers to Modification to address centre of Gravity concerns,Fuselage tank for MW50 was deleted and MW50 relocated to left wing inner and middle tanks, remaining wing tanks held the fuel.
EE quotes 600000 series W.Nr.s allocated to Mimetal-Erfurt based on allocation of known W.Nr. blocks.

I have a partly built 109G and a partly built 190 Dora that would be too far along to qualify for the GB.

Will likely do a 1/48 ICM 109F in a non-conventional camo scheme like this:

That is one wild scheme

Lucky13 · Apr 13, 2011

Hope to find some 13's for my Dora-9 and G-10 from JG 301.....got a couple here on this thread for -9, which is a good start.

A4K · Apr 13, 2011

Great stuff guys!

Cheers for the info Wayne, will google those markings and compare them with photos and the AML decal set I got.

And cheers for the encouragement Andy, would be something different wouldn't it? (Just so damn big I don't know where I'd put it! )

Crimea_River · Apr 13, 2011

Not a problem Evan. Just get rid of the piano!

Jan, I'm reading thru Reschke's Wilde Sau book and will let you know if I see a 13 crop up.

Wayne Little · Apr 14, 2011

Hey Evan and Andy..no problem!

Thanks mate, appreciated! Wayne dug out a couple of Dora-9's for me, it's only the '109G-10's that I'm looking for. Well, if you find more Dora's, I won't complain....

Wayne Little · Apr 15, 2011

Unless Erich has some losses listed, you may simply need to do a 'What if' G-10 Jan....

Lucky13 · Apr 15, 2011

True mate, or I just break out one of my A8/R2's.....

A4K · Apr 15, 2011

Do it Jan, you know you want to!!!

Maximowitz · Apr 15, 2011

Jan, what about the Maxis "Black 13?"

Lucky13 · Apr 15, 2011

View attachment untitled.bmpThis one Maxi? Here's some pics....I rather post the link, as the some of the pics shows Maxi after he was shot in the head....

Maximowitz · Apr 15, 2011

Where's the pic Jan? It would be the Bf 109 G-14 of Herbert Maxis of JG 53.... ah, unless you don't have a G-14 in your stash?

Lucky13 · Apr 15, 2011

Forgot the pic and link mate!
