Fla-eee-dah!

Les, German for Operation is 'Unternehmen'.

I've decided to do a 1/48 Me 410 B-1/U2/R4 by Pro Modeler/Revell-Monogram. Major Eduard Tratt of II./ZG 26 will be the subject (have to get some Zerstorer Reichs Defense in here!) about Feb 1944 when I belive he was killed.

Some questions:

Does anyone have any solid info on the matkings of his crate other than what is provided in the kit? I believe there was some question as to whether they retained the white Med bands while in Germany.

And can I suggest another category: "Totally Out of My League and My Mind."

Can I make another suggestion if it hasn't been covered?

Entrants who will be posting progress pics start a thread with the title "Njacos Group Build" or something similar and the first post should include all particulars, i.e, Category, scale type and possible a pic of the project at the start of the build - like a pic of the box and packaged parts or a pic of the half completed model. Might make it easier on the judges.

Now I'm stuck!!!

on one site I found this......

"He recorded his 38th, and last, victory, another B-17, on 20 February 1944. Tratt was shot down and killed with his Bordschützen Ofw. Gillert in combat near Nordhausen in the Harz mountains on 22 February 1944, flying Me 410 A-1 (W.Nr. 420 410) "3U + Blue 1"."

but in the kit and web it says Tratt flew a 410 B-1/U2/R4 that last day. Anybody have any definate info?
