    Happy new year to you, too, Jay. Your 3D-printed windshield looks marvellous. Fingers crossed that your new clear resin will give you better results. All the best Andy

    Your assumption is exactly right. JG 54 is well known for their field-applied camo schemes. It seemed to be necessary in the Heeresgruppe Nord area to better blend the aircraft in with the landsape.
  21. daHeld
    Absolutely stunning so far.
  22. daHeld
    Wow, your Dora looks very beautiful. Really splendid. Late war Luftwaffe schemes are very interesting indeed. There are so many different possibilities, that's why I like them so much. With all the parts manufactured and painted in different locations, it makes for very striking and colorful patterns.

    Thank you, those are reall nice photographs. I had the luck to be able to photograph the silver Airbus one myself, I think I took almost 2500 Photographs of it. But with those "Buchon"-conversions you have to be careful, since there are some subtle and some not so sublte differences between a "real" 109 an the Spanish-built ones. Some acces hatches are missing and there are rivet lines in places the German ones didn't have, the wings have two spars instead of one and the wings are overall more rigid than the "originals with more rivets, for example, and in other places some rivets are missing. So be careful to check other sources as well.

    The original painting instructions ("Lackketten") call for a removable paint applied over the summer camouflage. I don't know what source material Mr. Crandall used, and it is of course possible that some units applied camouflage colours over the white wash, but if so, it was certainly the exception and not the rule.

    That and to shield the electrics inside the engine room from rain seeping in.

    Very nice pictures indeed. Unfortunately all three aircraft you showed are "Buchons in disguise", with some important differences to "real" 109s. The restorers didn't remedy these, regrettably. I don't know if there was not enough time or money to do it properly, but it's sad nonetheless.

    Wow. You finallyy made it. Your attention to detail is very inspiring and motivating. Your Corsair is easily the most detailed one I`ve ever seen. Thank you for letting us be part of the build and for giving us 109 pages of pure modelling joy and astonishment. I`m already looking foreward to your next project.

    Focke Wulf always named their airplanes after birds, e. g. Fw 58 "Weihe" (harrier) or Fw 189 "Uhu" (eagle owl), and the official Focke Wulf denomination for the Fw 190 was indeed "Würger" (shrike). The british called it "butcher bird" not only because of it's German name but also because when it first appeared in the skies over the English Channel, it was what it did. It was so much more advanced than the Spit Mk. V then in use that it literally butchered them. The RAF had to wait for almost a year for the Mk IX to close the gap.

    Yes, for straight and wavy lines, this method works very well. I thought, maybe Jay could use it for the slight misalignment of his "17".
  33. daHeld
    Fascinating as always. Another metod to avoid paint-lifting is to use wet newspaper for masking. It works well. You just cut out your mask, put it where you want it to be and wet the paper with a broad brush. The water will seep through and under the paper, sticking it firmly to the model as long as the mask stays wet. No adhesive involved thus no lifting. I've used this method to advantage quite some times. It's how I usually mask my natural metal aircraft I use to clad with aluminum foil rather than with silver paint. Keep up that exceptional work, it's very inspiring! All the best Andy

    The Seat support structure looks so cool, Jay. Paper is probably a good choice to simulate a seat harness, especially in the big scales.

    Great job finishing the aircraft skin. Looks perfect. I cross my fingers that the paint finish will have no visible transition between the fore and aft parts of the fuselage.

    If you put in a few scale clecos, no one will believe you that this is a model panel...
