Outstanding, great subject!

Outstanding, Paulo!

Ed, Most of us here use Photobucket as well and don't have any issues so I don't think we have any issue with the forum software or the site. I'm able to post photos from PB using a direct copy and paste from the IMG tab and using the tool bar and inserting the URL. Do you experience this issue on multiple computers?

Looks excellent, Jeroen! Almost did that scheme for the one I did for our build off.

That is a righteous build, my friend! Wow!

Absolutely amazing!

Truly all that and a bag of chips!

Nice!

Nice, Dave! looking forward to the next two!

OK, pics are back, looks great!

I'll second Matt's comments, the Airscale stuff is great. The Eduard stuff looks pretty good but I think Airscale provides you a little more bang for your buck.

I'm kind of the same way, but typically I'll only buy Trumpeter and Revell kits plus aftermarket bits during the sale. For Tamiya and Hasegawa it's still usually cheaper for for me to buy them here in Japan.

I've got an FPO address.

Nice!

Wow, amazing stuff!

What happened to the pics?

Man, that persicope looks awesome, who did that part?

We get free shipping to US addresses so it makes this sale even more appealing.

We have a winner!

Excellent!

If I were Revell, I'd paying you not to build Hasegawa kits, Ralph! Just superb.

Hungarian Fighter Colours Vol. 1 1930-1945 By Dénes Bernád, György Punka Mushroom Model Publications Price: 29.99 GBP I've always found the air forces of Germany's allies during WW2 to be a fascinating study. Equipped with a mix of German, Italian and indigenous designs and often sporting interesting camouflage schemes I often wonder why they're frequently overlooked by most modelers. I own the old Squadron book on the Hungarian Air Force but I have to say that I was ecstatic when this volume arrived in the mail considering Mushroom's stellar reputation for quality. There's a good reason they're a favorite among modelers! Under the Treaty of Trianon (1920), Hungary was forbidden from owning military aircraft. However, a secret air arm was gradually established under the cover of civilian flying clubs. During 1938, as a result of the Bled agreement, the existence of the Royal Hungarian Air Force (Hungarian: Magyar Királyi Honvéd Légierő (MKHL)), was made known. The army's aviation service was reorganized and expanded. Late in 1938 army aviation was once again reorganized. Admiral Horthy, the head of state, ordered that the army aviation should become an independent service with effect of 01.09.1939. It subsequently participated in clashes with the newly established Slovak Republic and in the border confrontation with the Kingdom of Romania. In April 1941, operations were conducted in support of the German invasion of Yugoslavia and, on 27 June 1941, Hungary declared war on the Soviet Union. In the summer of 1942, an air brigade was attached to the Luftwaffe's VIII. Fliegerkorps on the Eastern Front. Beginning March 1944, Allied bomber raids began on Hungary and progressively increased in intensity. Late in 1944 all efforts were redirected towards countering the advancing Red Army, but to no avail. All fighting in Hungary ended on 16 April 1945, they stood by their German allies to the bitter end. The book is presented in hardback format and at 188 pages is a veritable treasure trove of information. The book begins with demise of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and the evolution of markings unique to Hungarian aircraft. I found the photos here particularly interesting since many of the aircraft depicted have faded into virtual obscurity. As the new air force transitioned from clandestine operations to operating in the open the aircraft become more familiar to aviation enthusiasts of this era. While we're on the subject, the aircraft that this volume focuses on are: Fokker D.XVI FIAT CR.20 AVIS I-IV FIAT CR.30 FIAT CR.32 FIAT CR.42 Messerschmitt Bf 109D Messerschmitt Bf 109E Messerschmitt Bf 109F Each of these aircraft receives it's own dedicated chapter with loads of information covering markings, operations and anything else relevant. Photos are plentiful as well as high quality color profiles. The pre-war schemes are particularly interesting, if you're a fan of the CR.32 and CR.42 like me you'll find that these two chapters alone are worth the price of admission. You seriously didn't think I wasn't going to sneak in a picture of a 109 did you? Of course the Hungarians operated Willy's wonder as well and you'll find some welcome respite from standard Luftwaffe schemes here, I'm a big fan of the red, white and green on the rear control surfaces. So what do we think? I came away thoroughly impressed, this book is just outstanding. If you have any interest in this subject, or even if you don't, get it. I think this book belongs in every WW2 aviation enthusiasts collection. Looking forward to Volume 2. (and not just for the 109s!)
