Interesting story there Jan.

Another profile of 'White 13'

 

[javlin]

Wrong rudder me thinks?or the artist has the wrong series?more like the G-6.Also a different color band maybe a different era of the War?

 

[Maximowitz]

Yup....to be honest the only "13" I remember! Possibly a bit controversial though..

 

[Lucky13]

True! Was looking at the pics with Maxi lying on the ground dead, with his feet on the wing.....
Strafing the troops it said in the text...

1/48 Revell Me 410 arrived today from E-Bay. Looks like a cracker of a kit!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Another cracker of a build coming up!!

 

[Crimea_River]

Well, maybe. It's a toss up between the 410 and the Ta 152. Not sure I can do both in time, unless I do them OOB.

Hah! What am I thinking?

 

[A4K]

Go the Ta 152!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Crimea_River]

Yeah. Me and 5 others??

 

[Airframes]

Bit of variety would be nice - go 410 !!

 

[imalko]

I'm with Terry here. Voting for me 410.

 

[Crimea_River]

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....

Finished Reschke's book. No mention of any G-10 with a 13 code anywhere I'm afraid.

There's a Black 13 Ta 152 which you probably know about, and at the risk of repeating what Wayne might have already given you, here are the 2 D-9's from loss lists:

Yellow 13 of 7/301 WNr 210919 Willi Frank KIA Feb 14/45
Red 13 of 6/301 WNr 210913 Clemens Schmoll KIA Jan 14/45

There's also a bunch of FW 190A's I could list if you're interested.

 

[Lucky13]

Go ahead young man....appreciated!

 

[Airframes]

Still can't decide - Me108 and Bf109F in 1/48th scale, or the major surgery needed to do the Hasegawa Bf109E3 in 1/32nd scale.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I think there is a bit of excitement looming on the horizon over this GB and I've the feeling there are going to be some cracking build.

 

[Crimea_River]

Go ahead young man....appreciated!

Will do Jan - later today.

EDIT: Oh, what the hell. I'll do it now:

Blue 13 A-8 of 8/301 Wnr 176080 Ludwig Vogel KIA flying accident Nov 7/44.
White 13 A-8 of 9/301 WNr 175920 Karl Hansel KIA combat with Mustangs Jan 14/45
Red 13 A-9 of 6/301 WNr 205938 Gerog Gude KIA in air combat Eastern Front Feb 4/45. Note the Loss List says Red 13 but the book text says Red 3.
White 13 A-9 of 5/301 WNr 206148 Ullrich Filipp KIA in air combat Eastern Front Feb 8/45

 

[Wayne Little]

as the new start draws near I'm thinking a first and Last theme.....an Fw190A-1 and a Ta152H-1

 

[Crimea_River]

That would be nice. But arguably a Ta 152C could be considered last if it's true that 2 flew with Stab/301 in April '45.

 

[A4K]

Looking forward to this build -going with the Fw 190D-9 first.
The Me 323 is a 'would love to' build, but no space for it in the flat! We'll see...
