GB 23 Winter War Eastern Front WWII-Allied or Axis

Nice pics. I just realized the Hobbycraft decals have the tail code numbers in white, not yellow. I guess I get to do some fun masking for those.

I'll be joining this GB with a Finnish Hawk 75A. I will be making the Hobbycraft kit in 1/48. I'll do either CU 574 or CU 580.

If I have time I might also get to Eduard's P-39 in Russian markings.

Hobbycraft...aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!

so when you have a look at that thread Mike, you will know we are good until about 2018 or something.....

 

[T Bolt]

And I'm looking forward to every one of them!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Only 4 years left………………………….damn, I'll soon have to start thinking about compiling the next list……………………………..

 

[Lucky13]

Yip! Time to start thinking of the next list....

 

[Lucky13]

Still not decided if....but anyway, one of those on the list;

13.03.42 , 2./KG 30, Ju 88 A-5, W.Nr. 3435, 4D+1K, Coast of Murmansk, Missing, Ofw. Hans Hermann (F) MIA Ofw. Walter Mans (B) MIA Uffz. Werner Pfülle (Bf) MIA Fw. Heinrich Schlüter (Bs) MIA....
I see that Profi Modeller does a A-5 conversion at about £17 in 1/32, is that enough the A-1/A-4 into the A-5....
Also have the D conversion from L'Arsenal....

Decisions, decisions....

Btw, some shows, for example, Pi.Qu 37 Ost/62 in locations, is that the quadrant or...?

Another to consider (in case....)

12.06.41, II./KG 30, Ju 88 A-5, W.Nr. 3313, 4D+CN, Unknown. Radioed about engine problems (F) Gefr. Ernst Füllner MIA (B) Gefr. Hermann Kamman KIA (Bf) Ogefr. Otto Radtke MIA (Bs) Gefr. Walter Feil KIA....

 

[Lucky13]

Where's Warlamowo?? Motowski??
How many places, have changed their names?

 

[mikewint]

Yea, if ya grab me by the back of the head, put my nose on it and rub for 10-15min I catch right on

 

[T Bolt]

Ordered this one today so I should have more options for JG 54 including the cover art although that looks a little plane. Maybe I can use some of the included decals for another bird.

 

[Crimea_River]

One of many possibilities Glenn. That box art is for Hans Phillip's rig, an opportunity to do a whitewashed camo:

 

[fubar57]

Now that would look very cool. About the tail...crappy foliage camo or Xmas decoration.

Geo

 

[parsifal]

might leave that off IMO

 

[Crimea_River]

Probably a leftover from victory celebration and possibly that of Phillipps' 100th victory, though the tally on the tail shows 90 victories at the time of the photo. Over to you Wayne.....
