I like the Fokker D.21.Well done Marek.

 

[marek]

Fokker was in 1/72 an was hevyly modifide. It hes come first in its clas. Sorry for my not sharp pictures.

 

[Wurger]

Oh.. the pics look good.Anyway you always can correct them slightly with Irfanview.

Thanks Marek. I have a feeling the Fokker might be the (very) old Frog kit. If it is, the modeller has done a terrific job.

 

[marek]

Some fantastic work there! Good to see the hobby is healthy in Finland!

Love those Finnish Buffalos!! 8)

Very nice!

 

[Gnomey]

Nice stuff, Bf110 in particular looks good.

 

[Catch22]

Nice shots! Yeah, that Bf 110 is very well done. Looks like the really old Revell kit.

 

[marek]

Thanks Wayne and Gnomey. The Me 110 in 1/32 scale, hes come second i its category.

 

[marek]

Thanks Catch22. You are not right. It was Academy kid.

 

[Catch22]

Thanks Catch22. You are not right. It was Academy kid.

Oh, my mistake. What scale?

 

[marek]

1/32 scale. No problem. I asked Tthe guy myself first: "if it is Revel?". But he sed: "No it is Academy"

The Mercury kustom is M-I-N-E! 8) Great pics Marek!

 

[Airframes]

Agree with Lucky! That car (Mercury?) looks real, and I love that Albatross, and I'm sure that rochie will be looking at the pink PR Spit! I think the modeller has made the model of a preserved MkXI though as, as far as I know, only the FRIX's were painted pink, the MkXI's being in PRU Blue.

What strikes me about some of the planes is the beautiful simplicity of the liveries chosen; that PRU Spitfire and the US plane above it, the eye for detail there a little belied by the overall lack of a complex scheme; I would not like to be a judge, it looks a fiendishly difficult task.

The Fw190D; RAF pilots used to say "if something looks the part, it usually is", that model really captures that sentiment, it just looks dangerous.

That eindecker, I wonder how long it took him to achieve that degree of off-whiteness and the subtlest of subtle weathering?

Of the others, the landser and the panzer officer (his trousers must have taken some patience) were first class too.

Its not an eindecker but a Pfalz EI. A liscence copy of the Morane H(Pflaz paid all the royalties back to Morane after the war). Because of its poor performance and the snow white and black edging they were known as the "flying death announcements".

Nice model.

My knowledge of WWI kites is sketchy, at best
Eindecker in the generic sense that it's a monoplane, then?
