Norway WWII Group Build 2009

Hey guys sorry for no updates lately, but my computer crashed. I'm in the process of getting it fixed. but I have the plane assembled, and will get pics up asap.

Jason

Mobious What kit did you get?  I got my computer back and will pput up pics tomorrow.

Jason

 Hey Jason, I just got the kit yesterday, It's the Tamiya 1/48 FW190 A8. Here's a pic. I plan on getting started soon. I still need to get a few more Luftwaffe colors.

 Mobious.

Stikpusher - very nicely done; like the markings and paint job.

And what a  sweet Condor so far.... Have to wait a bit to see Huxe's pics photobucket is full ;)

I finally cleaned up my basement (mancave) new water tank and workbench is back in business

Mobious can't wait to that started

Here are some pics

Jason

 Hello Jay, The Condor is impressive. A large aircraft with a good range if I'm not mistaken. Nice job on the interior and the exterior is looking good as well.

 Jmart, Glad to hear that operations will begin shortly from the "Mancave". LOL Hope the water heater trouble didn't cause any problems with the supply depot(stash).

 Hope to get a start on the FW by the weekend. I think I have all the colors in stock. The Tamiya color guide calls out XF-22 RLM grey mixed with XF27 Black green at a ratio of 3:2, Is this supposed to be RLM74 Grey green?

Best investment I ever did: buy some heavy duty plastic garage shelves at home depot... but used them as "pallets" for the stash (and other stuff), bringing everything 2-3 inches off the floor... saved almost everything from getting wet  :)

Jmart glad to hear that nothin got wet

I started to put paint on the condor but have to get the other colors

Jason

I've got paint on and now starting the masking of the splinter camo.

Jason

Well after a long day of masking and painting here some pics the bottom is just blue so I didn't take the tape off.  I am very pleased with the way it came out

Jason

Mein gott! Mein gott!!! Wow!

Excellent!

Love it!

I won't say much more!

By the way, lads!!!

9th April is coming rapidly.  Then the invasion of Norway started. So in two months, Norway will be totally occupied. If we were in 1940, that is.

As said, it was the first military operation German had where all branches were included.

Big day for military history, bigger day for this GB!

Thanks alot guys

Jason

I just a coat of future on and going tolet dry over the weekend.

I started to look at the 109t as this will be a first with resin and a limited run kit. I 've already noticed a big difference in the plastic used.

Jason

So... 9th April.. It is now it all started!!! 

It was today the Gladiators was sent above Oslo and shot down several  German aircrafts. BF110, JU52, JU88 and more...  The gladiators lost only one, of the seven that were airborne..

My gladiator is closing to an end. I get pictures up!! Also, now my photobucket album is back up online aswell

@Jason, Resin isn't plastic..

Have fun, Enjoy the GB, Happy modelling!

Hey guys I've gotten the condor up on her feet and most of the washes done hope to get some pics up soon.

Huxy were there any American planes in the battle

Jason

Jay, looking forward to see the condor!!!

I am myself done, but will not grab the badge until I post pictures, which are yet not taken.

About American planes, PLENTY!

P-51 Mustangs had a pretty decent dogfgiht history here. 4 Norwegians even flew the Mustang. Other than that, What about B-17's? Or a B-24?  There's plenty

-Lasse

Huxy I picked up a hobbyboss FM-1 Wildcat, and it says they were in the Atlantic just wondering if that would be good?  It is a really nice looking kit

Jason

Wildcat? No.. I do not think so, sorry..

No wait!

It says Wildcat FM-2, but as that's just a minor difference, and that this GB isn't really all into the very most accurate, I'll say sure! Give it a go!

Huxy I did some reasearch and found they where in the southern part of the  Atlantic but I might show progress pics anyhow

Jason

Hey everyone here are some pics

The washes are done with promodeler. These are great! I ame going to leave the engine open

Jason

Chester:  You are indeed welcome to the build!

Just give me the kit maker and scale, and I'll add you to the roster!

jay:  YAY! (Pun intended) that looks very sweet

I have heard alot of good words about the promodellers wash... Does this mean I have to try them?

-Lasse

Huxy Yes you have to give them a try they are great

Chester welcome aboard

Jason
