Good one!

 

[Catch22]

Very nice!

 

[Crimea_River]

All very nice builds.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nice, but I love that Gotha!

 

[Matt308]

Were the fences on the Gotha's aft gunner position to keep errant body parts from contacting the props? Never have seen such equipment.

You are correct. A number of aircraft on both sides had fences like that.

 

[Wayne Little]

Maybe a tad heavy on the panel line weathering, but very nicely done. Can see why it was commended.

He actually said the same thing Terry.....that he went just a bit too far...

Next up Tamiya Mk.VIII Spitty same one that was in Adelaide...

 

[Crimea_River]

Well done.

 

[Airframes]

Nice !

 

[Gnomey]

Good one!

 

[Matt308]

aileron deflection only on one side. Oops.

 

[Wildcat]

Sweet!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Interesting.

 

[Crimea_River]

Good catch Matt!

 

[Wayne Little]

Next up Adolf Galland's Bf109E-4 5819.

 

[Airframes]

Looks rather good. Maybe a bit 'pale', but that's probably the lighting.
I stared and stared at the Spit's ailerons, and couldn't decide if the port one was deflected or not - again maybe the lighting?

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one!

 

[Crimea_River]

Very nice. Now why would the "Black Men" carry the cowls all the way aroundf the wing and put them there?

 

[Catch22]

Because it looks better?

Nicely done!

 

[vikingBerserker]

It does look nice.
