  1. My understanding is there was so much OD 41 in the system that the use of ANA 613 was rarely seen in use before 1945. OD 41 tended to be a more greenish shade than the later brownish ANA 613, accounting for variables in manufacture of paints, of course. Cheers, Damian
  2. Look for LG set availability on the Vendors Board. Announcement will be made there when any sets are ready for purchase. Best Regards, Damian
  3. My understanding is that in the USAAF it had a lot to do with better treatment when captured by enemy forces, as there was a higher probability of capture for air crews. Officers were accorded better treatment than Staff NCOs, and in turn, Staff NCOs were treated better than lower NCOs and non-NCO personnel. Enlisted aircrew were always Staff NCOs for that reason. At least that's what I've read. Cheers, Damian
  4. Hey Kev The company is ET Modeler located in Shanghai: ET Modeler I believe the brand name is Gloria. Cheers, Damian

  6. Not that I've seen. GSB overall with a Non-specular Sea Blue anti-glare is good. Cheers, Damian

  8. Re. cheek guns: Better to have them and not need them rather than need them and not have them.
  9. Re: PART III from: Tomáš Poruba to: XXX Is it really such long time from Part I and II? Dear me.... My apologize for all our readers and funs! Thank you for kind words from XXX. I and all JaPo are glad our books satisfy you! I hope, our new study about last days of JG6 will be interesting too. We plan to issue it soon. Information about it will be on our web. And I can confirm - we are really working on Part III of Camouflage and Marking of Fw190D. New informations, new snaps, new profiles. The Part III will be the next title from WWII after JG6 study. Best regards Tomáš Poruba JaPo
  10. Love the aluminum paint on the filled wings.
  11. The S.O.W. website will be closing very soon. Unfortunately, our sponsorship of LSP must come to an end, as well. Sales of future products will take place via the Vendors Board. Whenever there is a restock or a new product issued that is where to find them. To those that have loaned original kit parts the S.O.W. replacements or original kit parts will be returned as soon as possible. Best Regards, Damian
  12. Awe inspiring! You've gotten the hard part done - how about the Full Monty?
