Luft '46 Group Build

Is this build still going?

if so I would like to enter a 1/48 Tamiya Do 335A-O with an Aires Detail set

The camera might be too close to the model.  Most cameras, unless set up for macro, have a focal length of at least three feet.  So you might have to move a bit further away when taking the pic and then crop to make the model bigger once you've downloaded the pic.

Apologies if it's something different but that's what it sounds like.

Ok. You post the pics of your Gotha, and I'll try to get clearer pictures of my Ta-183.

For some reason, I can't get the camera to focus on the small object in front of it, it always wants to focus on the wall or something larger and farther away.

Thanks Razordws. I found the kit on eBay. I thought it was a fun build, it only has about 30 parts, and only four of them are for the cockpit. However, the decals were horrible, so I had to buy aftermarket German insignia. Also, the area where the canopy meets the fuselage and the area where the vertical stabilizer meets the tail needed putty. Other than those minor things, I would say that it's a very nice kit. In fact, I think it's the only 1/72 scale Ta-183 out there.

Here's my Ta-183. Sorry for not posting these earlier. Also sorry for the bad quality pictures.

Thank you for the kind words.

The Splinter camo was my 1st attempt with Tamiya masking tape. I didn't like it much, the tape didn't stick very well, and paint had a nasty habit of oozing under the take, thus messing up the clean lines.

All the same, it was fun to do. If no one objects then, I'll add the Luft '46 GB icon to my sig.

Cheers!

This is my mythical Nazi UFO.

It's based on the image located here:

The Monogram Invader UFO, on which it's based, doesn't have much detail (in fact, it's all on the underside) and I wanted to do....more with the kit, but other things (family, more job responsibility) gets in the way of my grand idea for this, so for now, here it is in all it's simple glory.

If you feel it's a worthy addition to the GB, I'll add the badge to my profile. If you don't, don't worry about it, this was a last minute bit of whimsy on my part.

Cheers!

Well I managed to finish off my Revell 1/72 Ar 234C build this weekend so here it is.  The paint job was inspired by the fact that I had bought a bottle of RLM 78 paint instead of RLM 76 (my eyes aren't what they used to be) and the fact that I wanted to practice my mottle technique for an upcoming Itlaian build.  Anyway, lots of scratch building, raiding of the spare parts bin, some PE and lots of sanding, filing to get parts to look to scale.  Hope you enjoy!

This doesn't really count as being in the Luft '46 GB, but I'm working on converting the old Monogram Invader UFO to the proposed (or just plain made up) Nazi UFO made mention around the web.

Going to do it in Artic colours, as the Nazis supposedly went south to hide out and start the 4th reich.

In any case, I'm a huge Luft '46 fan, I just can't find the model of my favourite plane.

Cheers!

As promised here is a photo of the Ar 234 C that I am working on.  It is the old 1/72 Revell kit which I have since learned is a rebox of the even older frog kit.  I've rescribed the panel lines, stole some parts from the spares box for the interior and have generally put a lot more work into it than I had intended to. Anyway I wanted to have fun with this so I deceded to do something a little different with the paint scheme.  I have now put on a coat of future and hope to get the decals on tonight.

I hope you don't mind that I alerted another modeler to this site...seems like you all would get along fine:
