The kit says to place decals on a gloss finish. Does this mean the wings need to be painted? Or can I just spray them with a clear gloss coat. Do the wing colors show through the decals in any way? Much obliged, Paul

Wunderbar!!

That's amazing stuff. Not often you get to see the results of our follies like this. I have been to military museums but for the most part all of the items are in rather pristine condition. Kind of sad to see the stories of young men and the way they perished. The last war fought on US soil was the Civil War and those museums are sad in the very same way. Visit Gettysburg if you get a chance. Paul

Hello All, There was thread or two discussing how to do brass with paint. Someone, I forget who, had used clear yellow over aluminum and it looked awesome. So I tried an experiment and mixed up some Aluminum paint with some clear yellow and this is what I got. 1 part Tamiya Flat Aluminum 1 part Tamiya Clear Yellow a couple of drops of Clear Orange to taste. I'm calling out the brand only because I have no idea how other shades will work and this sis all I had. This is the fuel and oil tank on my Fokker DVII I just started. I suppose it could be a little darker but I made up a small bottle and will use it until I find a better one. I might try adding a little copper to see what happens. Paul

I now have on the bench for your viewing pleasure WNW's Fokker DVII(Alb). I will try my hardest to keep this WIP up to date because historically I tend to slack off posting as the build progresses. Bare with me here please, LOL. Here is the kit I am doing. And this is the scheme I am doing This is the ride of Carl Degelow, Jasta 40, July-August, 1918 (30 victories) And I will be using this as a reference. I will keep you all posted. Paul

I picked up these two kits at the 2013 Mosquito Con in New Jersey today. Thia one will be used in the upcoming Great War GB. It has a full interior. This is an old kit I gather but looks pretty good. Pretty good for 25$ I guess. This next kit will be used with the M1070 Heavy Transport from Hobby Boss I got last week. $10 US dollars.

Over 100 pics here, so I am posting just the link to my Photobucket page. 2013 IPMS Mosquito Con Enjoy Paul

No problem Grant. I just hope this is not a hit or miss thing even coming from this source. Paul

Here is an interview with Franz Stigler. The pictures here, I presume, were taken at his residence. Is this possible? that the last picture has the sideways "S", was of his aircraft? Stigler Interview Paul

Mike, Thanks.

Welcome Dagovee. I will say that WNW kits go together very, very well, almost too well if that is possible. Some parts go together without the need for glue.Easy to build and the instructions are superb. That leaves more time for detailing and finishing. You'll find our forum one of the best, welcome again. Paul

What an awesome detail job on this beautiful bird. You are right, it does have an industrial look. And you have captured it wonderfully. paul

Thanks everyone for your comments. Looks like that is what I will do. I will post a WIP when I start this. I do have 2 1/48 B-17's I could do up as the shot up version of Ye Olde Pub. Not 100% sure yet. Either way, this was a story that needs remembering. Rick, this book brought tears to my eyes more than once. To read first hand that experience from both sides was extremely gratifying. But! To realize that the Luftwaffe was nowhere like the rest of the Nazi regime was an eye opener. You won't be disappointed. Paul

And where, pray tell, do I source those? Never thought of that, thanks Doogs. Paul

I just got done reading "A Higher Call". What an awesome book and a story of an awesome post war friendship. So, I just bought Trumpeters Me109 G6 kit. I want to do it up as Franz Stiglers "Yellow 2" from JG 27. I cannot find any decals for this aircraft. Does anyone know of any source for these markings? I will also be doing the 1/32 B-17 as "Ye Olde Pub" when HK's kit hits the market. I will need decals for this also. I will be building this kit as it was before the fateful encounter. So, again, does anyone know of sources for these decals? Thanks in advance for any help provided. Paul

Speaking of which Martin, whatever happened to your weekly post? Huh? Huh? Come on, fess up. LOL

Awesome pics and talent. Love the FE.2 Paul

Nice set of jugs? Where!

Beautiful, just beautiful. I just threw my kit in the Hudson! Got anything for depression? LOL. Keep up the good work. Paul
