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

Do you think about a Nationalist CR.32 ? Miam !!! But I think you're right: not WW2

But a Spanish bird say a 109 or 111 would!

Besides the Slovakian Bf 109 I also have this kit

These are the sprues...

From what I've been able to gather from another review is that this is a re-box of Academy's G-6 kit with the taller tail of the G-14 added. My question is, looking at the sprues, what is needed to keep this as a bog standard G-6? If needed I can take closer photos of the sprues. I did read in another build that the windscreen is too narrow. Off to PG shortly and I'll do a test fit when I get home. If it is, that may be the deal breaker unless I have one in the spares

All depends on the period of the time the G-6 was assembled. I mean early,mid late 1943 or 1944. Also you may check on the Academy G-6 kit and its instruction. If the basic sprues are the same you can find out what parts you may use.

Geo, it's the same kit I used for a G-6, and has alternative parts for the bulges etc. See my model below.

fubar57 · Mar 1, 2020

Thanks Terry. I did a test fit of the windscreen and as with the build I read, the windscreen is too narrow by just over .5mm on either side. The Eduard G-6 duo combo has a plethora of windscreens and canopies so I'll have a look at what's what tomorrow

Crimea_River · Mar 1, 2020

I have a bunch of spare windscreens from various kits Geo so before you spend any money, let me know if you need something.

Capt. Vick · Mar 6, 2020

Ok, I assume either one of these would work, true?

1) Romanian Bloch M.B. 210

2) Greek Bloch M.B. 151

Crimea_River · Mar 6, 2020

You betcha. Come on in.

Donivanp · Mar 6, 2020

Do the Greek.

fubar57 · Mar 11, 2020

Jump in Jim. As much as I would love to see the challenging camo scheme of the 151 done, when was the last time I saw an M.B. 210 built.........never!!!

Donivanp · Mar 13, 2020

So here is a question that may open this up a bit more. Will "minor nations" include those who flew under British colors. ie Polish, Dutch, Norwegian, ect.. squadrons, GB commonwealth squadrons NZ, Australia etc...? I know many can be done under BOB but many can be covered later in the war and around the world!

Crimea_River · Mar 13, 2020

Yes. I think we already have a SAAF precedent for that.
