  1. I bet you can get that tv noise on YouTube. Some people need to listen to such to go to sleep
  2. Late war Bf109s are very good subject for Modellers. The Ks even more, with non-regulation paint occasionally and three distinct patterns plus the Erla mystery.
  3. It is same, but the youtube clip is of two different a/c. #8 is shown in the second half.
  4. Kotare is new to me. What can i expect? Will it pass the Kiss test? How much wilm it cost.?
  5. https://youtu.be/vA94OqR51Gw?si=9Hj2dSo-qFwx4t3-
  6. Strange that the profile is of the starboard side; I don't know of any pics showing that. Maybe mhaldimann2 on Flickr got any
  7. Yes, it was filmed in color by the allies after they found it belly landed. Mushroom publ. Late war Bf109s has a profile and very likely japo too. I bet you can find the clip on YouTube
  8. Those old things have very low number of parts. My kit comes with resin wheels, which is I intend to use because the original are ugly, and I may use a new spinner and prop i got lying around. That and some putty. Should be a quick build letting me focus on painting.
  9. Rosebud (or Nostalgia calls) whatever made a big impression on you way back at the dawn of time. Myself I am waiting for an 60's Revell Bf109G to be delivered, and i a m going to build it!
  10. So I came across an item I had never heard of except at the dentist's office); a portable water flosser. Some figurine painters have started cleaning their airbrushes with this gadget. . Interesting idea! Especially intriguing is the cordless version. I have no idea how resistant the liquid container is to different solvents; Vallejo, MRP, and similar should probably work. Of course, a plastic bottle with a narrow nozzle should work well as an alternative https://www.philips.se/c-m-pe/power-flosser#triggername=color_white
  11. Paint mixing is difficult and my paint rack only contain a few bottles. Maybe I can find matches in a large range, like vallejo?
  12. I am very fond of this illustration that was on Airfix's old Bf109G in 1/72 scale. There are a lot of mistakes, but it doesn't matter. In fact, I want to reproduce the most significant part: the colors in the camouflage. The problem is that they hardly exist in any Luftwaffe color series, so I have to figure them out myself. That's where I would need tips and ideas. Any input is welcome!
  13. Yes, it had "beulen" but i figure it is the same kit.
  14. Sorry guys, the REAL difference is that the Revell kit passes the K.I.S.S. test. The clue was clearly printed on the box: 40 parts. 40! I bought the the kit to use as a paint mule (I recently gave away all my unfinished kits to a fellow here on LSP). It is a simple yet reasonable accurate build that I first built when I was a teenager. (The larger Hasegawa Bf109s are similar) I liked it very much which is really why I bought it again. Now when I think about it maybe I should go back to building kits I liked. They will not be the best, but perhaps a better base for an enjoyable build? (anyone got the big old 60's Revell Bf109 in the stash?)
  15. Low stick tape has been so good for the hobby.
  16. Rechlin didn't have many exotic weapons or other test related stuff, but prague-kbely had a real Fritz-X! Apparently Czech AF tested those after the war. That was news to me. Should be interesting stuff in their archives. Then they had a genuine Me262 and Bf109s, Avia builds of course. What really struck me was how blunt and big the noses of the Bf109 are. Bigger in life one could say. Entry was free.
  17. A few points of interest: At rechlin they have what I suspect is a model of a su-7/22? that probably was used as a prop for a movie. The Hind got traces of both west and faded east markings. While the location once was of great importance little stuff remains. There was not enough time to properly read all information and examine equipment so that was just my impression. Highlights: the authentic Bf109, Hind, An-2 (it's huge!) and Do 335
  18. Here are links to photos from Rechlin and Prague Kbely
  19. I recall reading it is a drag on the US economy too. The actual cost is higher compared to comparable nations, but I don't know if any studies have been done about hidden costs; like cost of bloated bureaucracy, opportunity costs, reduced productivity of workers, etc
  20. A stroke killed grandma. Luckily very soon after her first big one. I remember how her condition made me very scared when we visited her at the hospital. Sometimes it's better to pass away fast.
  21. Yes, lawyers, they are rarely involved here in compensation claims. In fact they are quite rare in the Swedish society. I figure the insurance system evolved differently because of this.
