It will need several coats to cover the green plastic. Working on the P-47 at the same time made me realize just how small the 109 is . Or how big the P-47 is. Hermann would never fit in the 109. Maybe I should have given him a captured P-47 !

Started yesterday. Simple build.Not much detail to worry about or even worth showing. The fit is rather good for such an old mold.

I should have added: What if Hermann wasn't fat !

Hi all, The Schmetterling in this GB is nearly done.Same for the P-47 in the D-Day GB. Time to start another project. What if Hermann Goring still flew during WW-2 and had his plane painted like his Fokker in WW-1 ? All white Me 109 E. He would only fly the white Me 109 when going on inspections to airfields inside Germany. Escorted by several Me 109's as his personal bodyguards I shall use the FROG/Hasegawa kit I managed to buy last month for only 10 Euro's at the Antwerp convention. Should be an easy build and paintjob. Overall satin white. .

I rarely build anything based on an actual plane. All about being bussy and enjoyment.

Delivered in overall sand to the front. Camouflage was up to the crew in the field. Maybe I could add smoke rings. Not many would identify this as the Tony at first glance

Indeed ! I got one for 20 Euro's at a convention last month. The older releases can still be found for far less money !

Far from perfect.But good enough for me. Painting is not based on a real P-47. Will add some tail marking or extra stripes to dress it up a bit.

The wings fit perfectly. Ready for painting.

Must be the BP-Defiant in 24 th or 18 th scale

Hi all, I shall build this in the GB. It also runs in the P-51 GB on Britmodeller and must be done by 9 th June. Let's get started.

WE 's progress. This kit fits like a glove.

I bought this cheap at the Antwerp convention. Looks like a good easy build for this GB.

The main build is done with a rough base coat. This also fills the small gabs. From now on it all about painting.

First progress. Don't compare this ancien kit with Hasegawa or Trumpeter. No cockpit and engine worth showing. Bad fitting.I added a small screw inside to fix the wings stronger to the fuselage. So,again,this will be all about the "overall look" I plan to do this as a "museum" plane with full stripes.

First progress...

Hi all, I managed to buy this at the Antwerp convention today. I needed to find something for this GB.

A nice catch at the Antwerp convention today. All compleet and unstarted. 1/24 P-51: 20 Euro's ! P-47: 10 Euro's Me 109: 10 Euro's P-35 : 10 Euro's. First to be build is the P-47 in the D-Day GB.

Hi all, My second "what-if" is a more plausible one. Anno 1942: Germany is providing Japan with the DB 601 engine for their new Kawasaki 61 fighter. In return, Germany wants 100 planes . The Messerschmitt works will make some small changes for use by the Afrikakorps. Calling it the Me 61 "Schmetterling" I shall use the Hasegawa kit.

It's made of seperate sides and tops. Easy to mess up with glue. Review... https://www.hyperscale.com/2010/reviews/kits/revell04688reviewbg_1.htm

Thank you. My next one will be based on the Japanese Tony. A more plausable Luftwaffe plane called the " Schmetterling" .

Changes I did: * three blade prop. * larger airintake * merged right door and upper windows into fuselage. * tinted windows * drop tanks * small antenna when flying.Large antenna when on the ground.

There's the big convention Antwerp/Belgium 16 th March. Let's go hunting for some cheap Revell and Hasegawa kits that fit the rules.

Top is done. Revell satin enamels brushpainted. The rudder is unpainted plastic.Same will be done with the underside wingtips.
