George Unwin's Spitfire Ib QV-H

Tnx guys.... The first Spits Ib delivered without the outer machine guns to the 19Sq. Were the holes of the machine guns on the wing edge covered, or deleted? -

Hey folks, I'm just planning to build Revells Ju88A1 as a Ju88A5. Now the question is , do we have any pics of Helbig's Ju88A5 in 1941 in Greece? I have only 2, that show the front of the 88 . Was it the L1+AM or L1+EM? Helbig said once the AM was his favorite and he flown over 1000 h with it... but reading at many forums in the net, there are doubts about if his 88A5 was the L1+AM one... thanks for any help

I wrote it here many years ago, but I'm missing the century series, F-101/102/106, F/RF-84F, Mirage F1 AND the FG1, FGR2... and concerning the jets much more

Many TNX ...sometimes I believe that in my previous life I was fighting over the European skies....

Yes this is always the fact building the Mosquito (and Beaufighter)....we will see...

Now the wings and stabies are in place.....and I can see how big this beast is!.... but the more I look at it the more my fantasy brings me back in those days....

Hi folks, at last after (many) years of waiting, thinking and collecting information I finished the BIG Mig-15bis in the 1:18 scale. This is the well known ready to play model from 21st century toys, that I reworked and I added, I don't know, how many new parts from scratch to make it looking right. Decals are self made. I used bare metal foil and kitchen foil to cover it. It is the MiG-15bis (early) #132 (121032)flown by Capt Nikolay Sutyagin 17th IAP, in June 1951-January 1952. I also have a topic in the works corner (I have to write it to the end...). Sutyagin was considered to be the higher Soviet scorer during the Korean war with 22 victories, but many historians today doubt it...I think we will never get the whole thruth... I hope you like it

Today I closed the fuselage halves together and used some putty to close the minnor gaps... Now many details are starting to disappear, but it was expected...
-
Thanks guys....It makes a lot of fun building it, but many of this will be disappeared after the two halves connected and the the canopy is on.....
-
Tnx. That's for sure!!
