[Airframes]

Now that's what you call nose art, and fuselage art, and tail art and ............... darned grafitti artists !!

 

[Rogi]

It is even funnier/awesome when you translate it all from German lol

Seriously, this is a fine example of german humor. This needs to be remembered in a model!

Hope to join in real soon still want to do the Snake Stuka, but a snake 190 is calling me too....

How about them there birds and their 'art', when you landed on the wrong carrier back in the day, could be embarrassing, when you got back to your own ship....

Howdy, I've decided this will be my first GB if my subject fits the bill?

So I am thinking P-47D "Galloping Catastrophe" of the 5th ERS with the following individual nose art -

Cheers Chris

Don't see any problem with this one Chris.

 

[Wayne Little]

Me either, bring it forth....

 

[s1chris]

Which would be the best kit to build this from?
I have already purchased the decal set as also the resin underwing life rafts and smoke marker etc kit.
Not looking to break the bank though and needs to be in 1/48 of course.

Hope to do it justice.

FYI here are my relics from the same plane -

The Tamiya Kit is the best razorback kit out there. It's on the expensive side but well worth it. If you want to keep cost down go with the old Monogram kit which isn't bad but has raised panel lines and not nearly as much detail as the Tamiya kit. What ever you do stay away from the Hawk/Testors kit. That one is a nightmare.

 

[meatloaf109]

Amen to that! IIRC, it has parts to build either a razor or bubble, and neither one fits right!

 

[s1chris]

Thanks Guy's. Tamiya kit has been ordered. Will start a thread when it arrives next week.

Cheers Chris

 

[prem895]

Does this count?

 

[Lucky13]

Don't see any problems with that one mate....

 

[prem895]

Good,I may enter this after I finish my fw190a-5

 

[Crimea_River]

The Spit certainly qualifies.
