GB 45 Split Build - Battle of Britain / Aircraft in Foreign Service and Minor Nations (incl Lend Lease)

[Crimea_River]

Yes Karl I do see it and that feature doesn't show up in the profile. I am theorizing here and suggest that what was done here is as follows:

Start with completely silver airplane
Paint wing uppers a medium grey including over insignia
On fuselage and wing underside paint completely in a wave pattern of light blue or light grey leaving a silver mottle.
Paint a khaki wave disruptive pattern over fuselage blue/silver and over wing upper medium grey.

I think I've found my subject! I have the Eduard Bf 109G-6 (both early and late), sooooooo well add this for the twist!

i like that green G-6 !

 

[fubar57]

Yep....green....green...green

 

[Donivanp]

i like that green G-6 !

Green is 1950's. I like it also, but fear it is outside the boundaries

 

[Crimea_River]

Yep. I think we are limiting this to WW2 era since we're in the midst of a post war GB.

BTW, I've been advised that the profile of the Norwegian Gladiator I posted earlier was NOT by Junaita Franzi. Someone doctored it to add her name.

 

[Donivanp]

I was looking at the three from 1944. A Finnish 109 that I finished

 

[javlin]

i may be in for this one with the Airfix 1/72 B-25

I'm back in business!! I had really wanted to get a BoB done but I messed up the landing gear doors on the GB Aces build with only a few days to go. I got a replacement kit so this is perfect.

I'm thinking....opportunity to do an Airfix 1/48 Hurricane in Finnish markings....

 

[Crimea_River]

That would be a good one Wayne.

[Donivanp]

That was five long long years ago, like, like yesterday!

 

[Capt. Vick]

I guess an Italian aircraft in the spanish civil war would work? Oh wait, that's not WW2. Sorry.
