U da man Jan... Lets see what u got brother...

 

[Lucky13]

Still working on it brother....why is that when you need things to speed up AND work properly, they NEVER do..???

 

[Lucky13]

Right...here we go then...

 

[lesofprimus]

One pic??? Arent there any "real" pics in the book??? Other angles etc etc?

 

[lesofprimus]

The camo RLM82 almost looks like stripes, and its difficult to differentiate between the RLM 82 and 83...

 

[Lucky13]

Not much other pics of the Red "1" than you've already seen, not can in any way be useful I think....sorry.

Where's Erich when you need him!?

 

[lesofprimus]

Well, atleast the pic u posted up for me, thanks BTW, has a decent look at the wing camo, which proves that ALOT of pro modellers did the camo pattern wrong.....

So atleast we got that goin for me....

Im concerned over the difference of the camo on the fuselage tho... The Hasegawa directions clearly show mottleing along the side, while the pic u posted shows a stiped kind of paint job...

Can u take a clearer pic Jan, or maybe a larger shot of it to show more detail??? Maybe zoom in on seperate areas of the pic??? The nose area, the mid section/cockpit, and the tail section....

 

[lesofprimus]

And as far as I know, there is only ONE (1) "Real" pic of Red 1, this one....

Not sure which kite these 4 fine fellas are sittin on...

But its probably the same crate thats they are jerkin around in front of here:

Are there any other pics in the book that may be of some guidance??? Maybe a shot that shows the stripish camo???

Can't do much to help now, at work, will review kit instructions, photos and profiles when I get home from work and will post some actual pics tonight.

I would be more inclined to follow the Crandall/Tullis profile work as Jerry would have the largest collection of JV44 photo's from which to create the artwork.

There are MORE pics of Red 1 than just that one....

The Guys are sitting on Red 3

 

[lesofprimus]

Hmmm, interesting Wayne.... Hopefully u can get me set straight here... Im just about lost now, especially with Jans posting of Red 1....

 

[Lucky13]

I accidentally put that pic up as a desktop, then it covered my whole 19 inch screen in a single pic, with no loss of sharpness, try that dan....

 

[lesofprimus]

It does work, but still, the details of the camo are still lost... Hard to seperate the RLM 82 and 83....

 

[lesofprimus]

And Wayne, this is the Crandall/Tullis profile correct???? Im stuck between 2 reference sources......... Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

 

[Wayne Little]

Yes, Crandall/Tullis profile.

I will see what the Japo interpretation is as well....and what they have to say...

 

[lesofprimus]

Besides the motteling on the fuselage, Im trying to find out once and for all what the correct scheme is for the tops of the wings.... The Crandall version is different than the Hasegawa instructions and the Circus book....

 

[Lucky13]

 

[lesofprimus]

Now thats what Im talkin about.... Thanks alot Jan...

 

[Lucky13]

Anytime Dan, you're most welcome! Glad to be of any help...wish that I had a scanner though, even if the fold-out would have caused some problems...

 

[lesofprimus]

No comment on me bein stuck between resources??

 

[Lucky13]

I think that you can express best yourself....I think that I've done enough cursing for the nest six months. My language was so foul at times, that you'd have gotten a tear in your eye of pride....
