Now i have to put it away for 3 and a half months Me too. I just received my Cutting Edge canopy and wheel masks, Cutting Edge Spitfire camo scheme A masks, Ultracast Spitfire Mk.I exhaust & Ultracast Rotol 3-Blade Prop & Blunt Spinner. Now what do I do with it. I may have to get a BoB fix in the mean time and do a Bf 109 E3, just for fun. Cheers Darren

Thanks for the welcome! I´m glad to be here. Sorry Tweety1, I like cats, I had a siamese a few years ago... I´m thinking to paint the 109E-4 as the 5344, of the Major Helmut Wick, Kommodore JG2, nov 1940. I found a draw of it at a web site and I thing it was interesting. There are draws, the history and photos of Wick´s 109 in the link: http://www.luftwaffe39-45.historia.nom.br/ases/wick.htm Thanks again! Read you soon.

Tweets this is the Oversea camo scheme, sorry about the pic quality but i just can't seem to get a good pic of this model, it's from 3rd JG 26 based at Caffiers France summer 1940,and it was the first model i made since rejoining the hobby..... Darson now youv'e made me curious, gonna have to do some reading but i think it was StG 77 which attacked the FAA airfeild but i'm not sure which staffel it was.... Tom i just watched the BoB special features disc last night and they mentioned the Stuka problem, problem being there was no stukas left at the time of filming... All the JU87's in the movie are R/C aircraft..... Julio Good subject choice buddy Helmut Wick was the highest scoring Luftwaffe pilot of the BoB..Ironicly he fell to the Guns of Seargent Ginger Lacey one of the Raf's highest scoring pilots of the battle......... BTW there are no DO 17's or JU 88's in the movie either......... Reply Edit tho9900 Member since July 2004 From: SETX.

I'm doing pretty good but you're a natural!!! Don't worry, as my buddies used to tell me when went clubbing... I have no shame and will post whatever I have here! that's a real looker Jules! ---Tom--- O' brave new world, That has such people in it! Reply tho9900 Member since July 2004 From: SETX.

All the JU87's in the movie are R/C aircraft..... Actually in ref to his Stuka bombing my Fulmar.. this is a recent idea I hit on for a group build, thinking about just that.. a dio of his stuka bombing my fulmar... ... it would have to have like a 6 month to a one year deadline. an international group build! Each person does one step of the instructions and then mails the kit to the next guy who does the next step etc... It'd be interesting to see... or course it would limit us to smaller kits with the cost of shipping and all... but if it only cost me 11 dollars US to ship an airbrush complete with bottles etc to Singapore it should be less for a single kit... a price I would be willing to pay! either that one person builds one part of a dio, the other the other part etc.. then everything goes to the last person who finds a way to put it all into the dio... I just think it would be fun to see what it looked like at the end... if it even makes it through the postal system alive! I guess if a piece got broken or something we would have to improvise and scratch build, or go AM for it... each person would build, take pics then send it to the next... or as I mentioned in the post, two kits passed around the world could finally make it to a good dio person who could build it into a dio! This would be a ways off before I could start something like this as we all have so many GB's going at present but you guys mull it around and see what you think! ---Tom--- O' brave new world, That has such people in it!

Ok, so would I be safe in assuming not ALL the 109E's got this camo scheme sloshed onto them??? Reason I ask, I plan to finish my E in a 'How the did he do that!' scheme, obviously from the BoB era, and I would be kinda bummed if it didn't happen. Research time!!!!! --Sean-- If you are driving at the speed of light and you turn on the headlights, what happens??? Reply tweety1 Member since August 2003 From: Alice Springs Australia Posted by tweety1 on Wednesday, October 20, 2004 6:45 AM tho9900, that is an awesome idea mate! But, the logistics on such a project would be mind boggling. I'd love to play a part in such an idea, but like you said, it's ways off, wait and see. --Sean-- If you are driving at the speed of light and you turn on the headlights, what happens???

OK the scanner has been warmed up and here is an image of the Aeromaster BoB Eagle Day sheet that I plan to use as a bit of muck around build The camo on the 109's is sort of the same but I believe that the mottling on the fuselage sides came in as the battle progressed. I'm sure one of the 109 experts could tell you exactly though. I'm looking at doing either aircraft one or four. Aircraft one has a lot of personalized artwork including a pair of red lips smoking a cigarette under the cowling. Aircraft four I just like because I've always loved that line from the BoB movie "Yellow nosed bast***s coming down, now" and to me this plane is it. On and Jules that Bf 109 is fantastic, a really beautiful job, no kidding. Julio, I have read somewhere that the best way to apply the sort of camo that Wick had is to use a piece of sea sponge dipped in some paint and then dabbed on to the aircraft. I would have a practice on something else before committing this to the real model though.

Those masks are supposed to be reusable and I don't see any reason they wouldn't be, when they loose their stickiness I will just use a bit of Blu (Fun) Tac.
