Opps...I had missed these pics before.A lot of work ahead you mate. But these can look very good with a "drop" of your patience.

i would like too put one togeather, but the garage is already full of planes and tanks and stuff hanging around , plus i still havent finished the ones i got now ! plus the wife would just say, all that money for plastic, what the hell do they know anyways , better to spend money on that then something for crap !!!!!

U guys bitchin and moanin about 1/24th scale models is really getting me confused.... When I was 13-16, 1/24th was all I built.... I grew up as a kindof rich kid, so money wasnt a problem, but I never had any issues with the size or difficulty of them....

Maybe now that Im 42 my opinions would be different, but I havent seen a 1/24th kit in a loooong time....

hey les your right I havent seen them either, when i was kid i spent my grass mowing and paper route money on models and pac man at the arcade

 

[lesofprimus]

Oh, dont get me wrong, Ive seen those overpriced sumbitches in the hobby store, sittin on the shelf, with those humongous price tags on em.... I just havent seen one opened up or completed is all....

I'm guilty of that, Les. But when I was a kid, the sky was unlimited and nothing could stop me building them. Now older with reduced skill sets, its a little.....daunting? Ahhh, I'm just whinning. I know I'll tackle it as soon as I finish the few others around here.

I think I'm just haven't figured out what I want to do with it. It has markings for Wick's plane and I think another but I'm not sure that I want to do that. I want it to be unique and different. Maybe a Yugoslav AF machine or......

I'll tell ya Chris, there is a specific camo job on some 109's that someday Im gonna try.... Its the camo that is just dark green? strpes all over the fuselage, criss crossing in all directions....

Im sure someones got a pic of the job Im talking about....

 

[Wayne Little]

You must be talking about the 'cross-hatch' pattern...got a couple of shots of Bf109E's of 9/JG52....and then there was the other pattern used by JG54...

Hey, I've seen that! That would be cool. I was thinking of either the crate with numerals on the cowling - I think Trauloft used that as a protest against Goering for his marriage - or with "Train" motto that some used - as another protest against escorting the bombers during BoB.
