mozart Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) Thanks chaps, only had time for a little play this morning but I think I can get a degree or two of movement, but then how many of us knew that the SM cannons were at 15 deg.? My belief is that there is some degree of movement in the cannons anyway, each pilot had their own preferred way of attacking bombers so would have set theirs up accordingly.

mozart Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Glad you enjoyed it Shawn. Peter Hinchliffe's "Ace of Diamonds" is a biography of Schnaufer and a fascinating read if you're interested to know further. Bit of a mixed bag of modelling today in an effort to have a little respite from the intensity of Schrage Muzik. So I turned my attention to the Eberspacher flame dampers: the front ends needed opening out slightly before the filter would fit, and the aft ends needed drilling out completely. I made the thickness of the tubes as thin as I dared since I have a bit of a "thing" about scale thickness. Once done I sprayed them with MRP Exhaust Metal, and excellent replication I thought. No rust on these, not on the Kommodore's Bf110!! I must admit to being a little sceptical about John's clear wing tips, seemed a bit like overkill to me, but they actually fit very nicely when cleaned up so well done John: And since the GB has been extended for another month, bless you Kev, I stand a chance of completing the build so I thought I'd better practise my mottling skills: blackbetty, LSP_Kevin, MikeC and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Some of you may have read in the "General Discussion" forum about Wingleader Magazine which is the brainchild of Simon Parry and Mark Postlethwaite, jointly Red Kite publishing. Simon and Mark asked for crowdfunding to get the magazine underway, an initial sum of £12000 was the target. I was happy to contribute to this and as a reward I will be receiving the following apposite items for "In the Pale Moonlight": LSP_Kevin, Daniel460, Dany Boy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Nice when a plan comes together, it sure is looking good. That picture of the SM attack on the Lancaster really brings home what it must have been like, you can understand the theory but that really does bring it home.
