Greg Springer Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 I picked up this book on Tuesday at King’s Hobby for $32.99. It contains profiles for 19 BoB subjects as well as three sheets of decals in 1/32, 1/48, and 1/72. First come the Spitfires: LOoG, 602 sqdn QJoP, 96 sqdn QVoI, 19 sqdn Nurricanes: DToH, 257 sqdn NNoD, 310 (Polish) sqdn GZoB, 32 sqdn RFoG, 303 (Czech) sqdn WXoW, 302 (Polish) sqdn VYoR, 85 sqdn 109’s: E-1 ‘Red 14’ 5./JG 52 E-3 ‘Black 11’ 5./JG 3 E-3 ‘Black 1’ 5./JG 51 (I’m not sure if yellow background on the ‘Sniffling Raven’ staffel symbol is correct.) E-4 ‘Yellow 5’ 9./JG 3 E-4 ‘Black 6’ 2./ JG 51 E-4 ‘White 9’ 1./JG 2 E-4 ‘Black Chevron’ III./JG 53 110’s: C-2 ‘L1+XB’ V.(Z)/LG 1 D-O/B ‘S9+AH’ ErG 210 (Martin Lutz) C-5 ‘5F+MM’ 4(F)/14 I’m happy because I can mix and match codes to build George Unwin’s QVoH!

Kagemusha Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 I'll have to keep my eye out for that, one can never have enough decals for Nurricane's!
thierry laurent Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 Just one question: wich of the abovementioned schemes are covered in the 1/32 decal sheet? All of them?
Greg Springer Posted September 3, 2010 Author Posted September 3, 2010 I'll have to keep my eye out for that, one can never have enough decals for Nurricane's! They're Nurricanes! 'Einkels! Nurricanes! 'Einkels! Mancunia, eh? I've a Mancunian mate. I stood best man for him at his wedding 30 years ago. Cheers! Greg
Kagemusha Posted September 3, 2010 Posted September 3, 2010 Sorry Greg I couldn't resist, and if you've a Manc mate you'll know our sense of humour, though it took me back to my childhood as oftentimes kids would call them Nurricanes - priceless!
Greg Springer Posted September 4, 2010 Author Posted September 4, 2010 Just one question: wich of the abovementioned schemes are covered in the 1/32 decal sheet? All of them? Hello Thierry, Yes, all markings are in three scales. There are only codes, serials and squadron symbols. National marking must come from the kits or other sources. Salud! Greg
nmayhew Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Kent very kindly pointed out to me that this book has some ErpGr210 - woo-hoo! now can anyone tell me where this book is available from in UK / Europe? Amazon says it's coming in December, but given you already have it in your hands in the US, i know it's "out there" somewhere! i have done quite a bit of googling and all i keep coming up with is the Part I book any ideas? cheers Nick
PhilB Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Hi Nick, Ordered mind direct from Kagero few days ago for 22.5 euros (don't have euro key on keyboard) Here: http://sklep.kagero.pl/product_info.php?products_id=1013 Bit of a chore to order. The secret is to register and wait for an e-mail to activate your account and THEN order. I tried to do it immediately after registering and it threw a bit of a wobbler! HTH Phil

HTH Phil ah yes, i too appear to be "mid wobbler"!! i don't know why i haven't bought these books before, given they are only a bit more expensive than some of the decal sets out there, and they will have better reference material / pics than most decal sets yes, once again, i prove to myself i am a dufuss!!
nmayhew Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 ok so Kagero obviously work half day Friday nothing wrong with that, but i thought online ordering was meant to avoid all this crap! people making it difficult for ME to give THEM money really annoys me
