Nice work so far. My 2 cents on colors... I don't believe there was a third color on the prop spinner. I believe what looks like a third color on the B&W image is just a trick of the light. The white segment was added at the factory, either masked, or not so that ppl could tell it was spinning. I have seen images where a full circle was painted a different color on the tip.
For the camo... I believe those were captured paints. Russian black and green to be specific. The dark color looks too dark to be RLM 70. And the green, could be 71, but could have been Russian too.
Some reasoning... The fighter unit, if issued paint, would most likely have been issued 74/75/76 per regulations. I suppose they could have begged some paint from a bomber wing... but knowing stingy supply personnel, I'm guessing not. If you read anything written by Luftwaffe pilots of the period on the Russian Front, they lived a miserable existence. Always in tents, always too cold, or too hot. Always very poorly supplied.
Another thought... AGFA film of the period was notorious for adding a blue tint.
Anyway... your model. Have fun with it.

Man... that is superior weathering in that pit. Almost needs a vacuum cleaning.

All the work looks very nice, Peter. I thought I commented yesterday... but I must have stuffed it up. My workdays just seem to take so much out of me.

Easily done. Martin. The Speakers are Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand. I own them since my Berlin days and they are a statement to musicality. The three bass cone layout guarantees a tight and fast bass of the kind I like it. Not seen on the pic is another important hearing equipment, two Eames Lounge Chairs, which keep long hearing sessions comfortable, in fact, they are like an exo-skeleton. My setup is pure stereo, no room-dang-Dolby-server stuff.
We make concessions to good sounding equipment, but the room has to be liveable at least. No egg cartons on the wall
.
Cheers Rob
Wow... that is impressive. Can I come to your house and jam to King Crimson and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer?

Since yesterday, I'm a bit distracted from modeling. After a four month odyssey, my new tonearm and cartridge for my good old Transrotor Fat Bob turntable arrived.
The old setup sported a Transrotor modified Rega tonearm and an Audio Technica VM-760 moving magnet cartridge. A good combo, but I always had the feeling, it's a bit of a letdown for the Transrotor, especially the arm.
Old setup with dust on the needle:
The new setup, which I mounted and adjusted yesterday, has a Sorane SA 1.2 tonarm and a Pasemation PP-200 moving coil cartridge, booth oozing Japanese building and engineering perfection. The combination is a dreamtime on paper, which means by compliance and low frequency resistance and the first hearing sessions showed, it's also in reality. I'm blown away by the clarity and separation of instruments. It's not like jumping into hyperspace from the good old setup, but every aspect of music reproduction is a bit better, which makes the whole hearing experience completely leveled up.
Some month ago, I also made an update with my phono pre-amp, substituting my good old Lehmann Black Cube with the Aurorasound Vida Prima. A quirky retro reminiscent device, which no wonder is also build by a Japanese producer. This also was a great step forward, leaving the slightly Teutonic sounding Lehmann behind in terms of musicality. Except the German build Transrotor, my entire phono setup is now Japanese equipped, and I'm no longer a searcher, but found my dream team for playing my precious vinyls.
Cheers Rob
Cool... I'm too lazy for anything but digital music anymore.

Nice MP5. I’ve got a knock off PTR 9c
I’ve also got their K model as well. Both are SBR stamped.
Full auto?

Is that low Gary? looks normal but maybe I am guilty also?
I stand corrected. It is unusually low. But that's the way it was.
But you can compare it with others...

Looking good. Wonder if there are any Italian sailor figgies to go with it?

Nice start. But talk about crunch time... Didn't the FAA use silver paint? I know some of their other weird looking planes got silver paint.

Worn paint is good. I like the little dark/repainted area in front of the turret on the foremost machine. This would have been a great subject for some of those Time Magazine color shots.

The Soviet tanker getting stitched up with depleted uranium shells won't care whether it's Apache or not.

Very nice paint and weathering. Was the swastika really that low on his machine?

Stunning, I need to learn how to do figures they make a diorama……..
Phil,
Just do them. Don't redo them. Accept that they will be rough for a while and get better later on. Fixing and re-fixing is a road to hell. Once you find what you can do, then you know the right questions to ask or google.
