cog Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share #91 Posted May 16, 2020 Thank you, vaddoc, the strip down was my first - and will probably be my last - of such models at that scale. Headaches and cramped hands from holding tweezers. These little planes are fun to build to get your head empty for the important things like ship modelling. Since the Germans had (?) the tendency to paint their planes in all sorts of different "camouflage" schemes, you can actually build the same plane over and over again, without getting bored. Painting is often a challene on it's own, and to look for a specific paint scheme is quite fun, considering the choices one has. I can still do another odd twenty variants for some I've already built. Display will be the decisive factor now ... Thought about your workshop wall and ceiling yet?

vaddoc Posted May 16, 2020 Share #92 Posted May 16, 2020 It seems that back then, if you had just a plain grey plane, nobody would actually want to fight you! I do have some thoughts but currently there is a lack of both time and funds! cog, Old Collingwood, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote Current projects: 21' Fisherman's Launch - plans by Howard Chapelle Completed projects: 21' Yawl Longboat - plans from the National Maritime Museum Deben 5 tonner - a Whisstock yard design 24' exploration gaff rigged ketch - a Tad Roberts design 15' knockabout sailing boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popeye the sailor Posted April 8, 2021 Share #107 Posted April 8, 2021 pretty neat way to display them Carl the you tube planes came out great as well! such an amazing Jasta you have there. Christmas was good to me.......I got three more planes. the admiral was a bit confused I think........I had three different planes on my wish list, but she goofed on one of them. so I got two D VII's that are the same, and a Dr 1. they say 1:48, but they look to be 1:72....never heard of this company, but the kits are really nice. they have a little PE and even supply thin wire for the rigging. I just ordered a book on the different Jastas, but I may just do Raben's or Berthoud's, since I can readily get the decals I need. lmagna, Egilman, cog and 5 others 8 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

popeye the sailor Posted April 9, 2021 Share #110 Posted April 9, 2021 yes......they are I have the Dragon models link in my bookmarks. they were produced around 1993...so no, they aren't older models in the sense, but with the included PE, this gives you an idea when model companies began including these additional parts and options. it actually began much earlier, but they were the three 'n one kits and customizing kits, that gave you options, but the add on parts were mainly plastic and weren't metal. there was a select few models out there at the time that offered a metal body and {or} bumpers. ......I digress......

popeye the sailor Posted April 9, 2021 Share #111 Posted April 9, 2021 you could take some pictures of the sky {perhaps from some high place}, scan them and then make up a card backing for your display cabinet. that would look really neat Egilman, Edwardkenway, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.
