Well I bought an airbrush last night for my group build entries. Its a dual action paasche its a 2p-V3. It shoud be a lot of fun, I'm lookin forward to starting my buidls very soon. Maybe a trial model first.
Me too! Sounds like a good buy on the airbrush, they are one of the original, 'old school, top notch' makes, used in the Graphics and Professional trade, well done.
Me too Dan! I'll just keep plodding on with my old, coal-fired airbrush! I have seen a reasonably good one at less than hald price though (£32), just waiting for some details to be e-mailed.
Due to the nature of my Fw 190 build, I don't think anything will be finished by the deadline.
I've decided to put it on slow-build, and enter something else for the GB.
Just to be completely different, would anyone have a problem with me entering a Henschel Hs 123B-1 of II/SG 2, as serving on the Eastern Front late '43 - mid '44?
Alright, cheers Dan.
As I understood it, the build was about the Defence of the Reich on all fronts, from late '43 to '45.
I wanted to show that just as the Battle of Britain wasn't fought just by Spitfires, there were more than Focke-wulfs and Messerschmitts involved in the Reichs verteidigung...
I can see your point Evan, and I do sympathise, but the Henschel was an attack aircraft, not a defence aircraft. Sorry mate, but it'll be great to see it in the East front GB.
Basically, anything that was countering the allied bomber, fighter bomber, or fighter offensive Evan. That is, acting as a fighter, or perhaps in the case of certain types, in support of fighters. For example, the Bf110's that dropped flares to assist the NJG's in their task. So, you'll be mainly looking a JG's, ErpGp's, and NJG's, plus, of course, specialised units such as JV44 etc.
Also, this is what Wikipedia have to say..."The Defense of the Reich (German: Reichsverteidigung) was the Nazi Germany campaign to "gain air superiority"in the European Theatre of Operations, particularly against the Allied strategic bombing during World War II. The campaign generally began with the Luftwaffe retreat from France and ended with the defeat of the Luftwaffe during the Battle of the Bulge."
They have the dates as from September 1944-January 1, 1945, so I think that we'll do it from September '43 to VE-Day, May 7th '45...how does that sound chaps?
