Cheers for the info guys. As for the Nissen hut and Control tower they are from the skaledale range I think and I agree pricey. But I thought they were 1/76th scale?

Yep, 1/76th scale, HO for model railways. It's OK if there isn't a 1/72nd scale item right up close, so will fit in with most dioramas or railway stuff without problems.

There were some etched brass Nissen huts, etc in 1:72 up for grabs at Squadron a couple of months ago..they might still have them. Try 2008 Squadron - Your Online Hobby Shop: Mail Order Military Scale Plastic Models and Books

Just to clarify HO is 1/87th and 00 1/76th, 00 being adopted by the UK so trains could around tighter radius curves.

Oops! Sorry Alex, you're right! I always seem to get it the wrong way around! I should know, as I had a model railway 'layout' in 'OO' with a small airfield included when I was about 14 or so!
BTW, Airfix have their control tower released again, which can easily be altered to one of the various wartime patterns (I've got on 'converted'), and there's also a Nissen hut in one of their 'Airfield Diorama' kits, I think the USAAF one.

I just stumbled onto this thread. Has anyone started anything yet? I recently purchased another Hs 129 but one of the props is busted so I should be able to build it to meet the requirements of this build.
Another one I've always wanted to build that I'm surprised no one mentioned is the underwater wreck. I think it would look cool as hell but would take a lot of work.

Dirk, I´m going to build an diorama about the wreck too, I got an Me-109, and now I´m collecting some pics about the 109 wrecks....
I think that this kind of diorama is so nice !!!
best regards,

let me guess in 1/144 scale right?
I'm still waiting to see the Stuka/ 262 dio to be finished. As always I can't wait to see your next project. Truly amazing stuff you do.

Dirk,

Great ideas guys! Really looking forward to seeing how your Ju 87/ Me 262 build pans out too Lucas!
As co-founder of the thread idea (the other is Heinz), I feel a bit guilty not having started my own projects yet... Hoping to organise the time for them shortly.

Thanks for reminding me Evan
Forgot I was a founding member!!
Gave it some thought today and found this shot of a 112sqd Kittyhawk that landed badly in a dust storm. This also has some significance for me as I have photos of 112sqd Kittyhawks taken by my Grandfather who was a desert rat.

You've just spurred me on guys! I forgot about the Fire Dump Spit! It's been sitting at the back of the W.I.P. 'storage bench', hidden behind other stuff - I'll see if I can get it finished in it's current thread, then post the final pics here.

G'day guys!
Thought it was time to revive this thread.
My first project for this is (of course) my Me/Fw Group build entry, Fw 190D-9 Braunen 4 (W.Nr.500647).
When completed, I'll post pics up here, in the meantime you can follow construction here:
http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/10...en-4-w-nr-500647-me-fw-group-build-28927.html
Hope to see more builds here too!

Good to have ya aboard Bill!
Yep, Terry's right, Brewster B-339 Buffalo, pulled up in fantastic condition and unfortunately gone to the 'States. This is the last known surviving Buffalo.
I don't know what scale you want to do this in, but there are atleast 6 kits in 1:72:
Older 60's/70's kits - Airfix, Matchbox, Revell USA (nice little kit);
New tool - Hasegawa (2 or so versions I think, including Finn) and 2 or 3 versions by Special Hobby (great kits, injection moulded with full resin cockpit and engine)
Look forward to your build!
