Go to community settings, then inside 'signature' you post the '[IMG]' code of the image you want as a 'standard' below your posts,
just don't take a to big one because otherwise it might be annoying for others to scroll down the entire way

My badge are 100px (pixels) high and the badges I design and post for others are 150px, those should do the trick as it beeing readable but not annoying for others.

With regards, Ninetalis. 

Killer badge Ninetails...One of the best I've seen, Most all are cool but some just reach out and grab ya! This one grabs ya!   Mustang, you've already got the kit I'll start out with and by saturday I should be able to pare down the aircraft and paint ( I  hope) I think I told you but likely 2Jg1 or 3Jg26. Still checking for paint schemes and suplimental markings if I dont have them already. I think this is going to be a kick ass build!

I have some decals to do an FW 190A-8 in French Air Force markings, circa 1946. So there you have my entry.

Thats gonna be an interesting build Tony, I keep forgetting that the fw190 remained in service with the french for a short while after the war. They also got to keep some Yak 3 and 9s. Woulda been an interesting fleet for a post-war air force.

Thanks guys. The decal sheet I have has decals for a few 190s, a Do 335, and a He 162. All have tweaked my interest.

Joe, I'll be a puttin' together a 1/72 Hasegawa FW190F-8. I have PE seatbelts already and a sweet AM decal sheet enroute. Thanks for getting this going Joe as I'm breaking ground on Luftwaffe aircraft here. Something that is long overdue for me.

                            Joe

 

Joe which decal sheet have you got coming. I've got the same kit and was to happy with the decals, so i got a set from Authentic Decals.

Bish - I too got the Authentic Decals F-8 set. 12 options on the sheet. I'm leaning towards one of the MTO schemes. Joe

Thats a nice set. I am going for one of the MTO schemes as well, i have decided on red 12 from SG 4. Though i don't think i will be doing that build for this GB. So i will be keen to see how you get on.

Ok fellas. Penciled everyone in on the first posting here for who they are and what they are building. If I made a mistake or forgot something just let me know.

At my entry you wrote 1/48 and later Scale TBA instead or Brand TBA.
Just wanted to let you know!

With regards, Ninetalis.

Fixed it pal. Thanks for the input. Told ya, I'm new at this but am doing the best I can.

Mustang, put me down for the 1/72nd Academy Fw 190A-6.

Gotcha! I'm getting trigger finger already!

I am deffinatly looking forward to this, i don't have a completed 190 yet, so its about time i changed that. I would be an early starter, i have 4 other builds to do, including the current one, before i get to this. But i will be watching in the mean time.

I'm up for it....with an Eduard 1/48th FW190-A-5.  Cool!

Mustang- I'll do the Dragon Ta 152 and also an Eduard dora 9

Oh Yeah! This is shaping up to be a Sweet GB. I am definitely looking forward to it. Joe, you're doing an excellent job facilitating. Remember, we're all in this together and we'll help you out in any way.

                                       Joe

Joe- The kits are all 1 48.

Well, heres the "Dora" 9 that I'm going to start with... 5Gp/Jg26 White 3. The brief write up I found when trying to decide who to do, along with that hideous celery green looking fuselage and tail kinda got my interest. They say due to the constant bombings and increasing lack of proper record keeping that little was known of this aircraft and its pilot. It was noted that he survived the war, being shortly after the surrender, he was observed setting her down in a field, powering down, getting out, and just walking away. I am looking at an A-6 to do also, still researching that one.

Doug (RR)

This is what I have to start with here folks

Whoaa! Bustin out the Royal class kit huh? Why The Big Ed set with all the goodies already in the box? Got a scheme picked out yet?

They include a piece of the A-8 that was shot down in Kovarska on Sept 11, 1944. The plane became a lawn dart and went nose first into the ground. All that was left was pieces of the bird. Thats whats in the plastic bag in the middle picture above.
