Hi There, I posted all the info you need.... Right here: http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/1432-wooden-prop-call-state-your-brand-and-colour-please/ Cheers!

Dave... Dave.... You've outdone yourself! I like m nice and dirty! Really cool.

Mosquito?? New tool? If so, that's great news!

Here's the seat from Eduard. James asked me if it fits, but I think that question belongs to sissies. In my opinion a real modeler doesnt fit anything but builds and paints the entire seat, super glues the delicate seatbelts to it and then! sees if it fits.

the illusion of the windshield is truly crafty and works really well. Another top notch model! Jaw dropping...

No typo Everytime I make plans, a new kit hits the market I always wanted to make. Thought i might as well take them up in my plans.

There he is!! Really ballsy work on a kit that needs A LOT of love and attention. Great work on the wheelbays. I've seen it up close, and say again: great work!

Thnx guys! @ Jamme: Yes. You REALLY should see the Fokker DVII 3D book they have. Amazing detail and it clearifies anything you might question on the subject. Just noticed that Kagero posted a pic of all the profiles, so I guess it's OK if I post it here. @ Matt: White 34 is on there too Yummy yummy.

Thnx guys, I really can't wait till Eduard treats us to a special set for this kit. But the extensive old Eduard set for the Hasegawa kit has a lot of parts that can be used. The seatbelts for instance are not up to HGW quality, but are better than the Meng seat belts that are made from single PE parts. As I go along I'll see what I can use. The Meng seatbelts are (in my eyes) too small (almost 1/48-ish) and too simple.

Hi all, I know I shouldn't start yet another build, but after opening the box on this kit, it got the better of me. I rummaged through old spares boxes I found some PK Tinyland Luftwaffe hatches, CMK cockpit, Eduard exterior and interior, Master Barrels, Aeromaster decals and MDC mk108's. It's not that this kit needs much, BUT with all this stuff lying around AND me never touching the Hasegawa kits in the stash anymore, I thought I'd see what can be used. I haven't decided on a scheme yet, other than that it will not be the red Wolfgang Späte plane. I made a small start by cutting out some access hatches in the fuselage. Added a PE flange in the opening. The doors will be suspended by a chord from the opening.

I just love this project! 1/18 may be an odd scale, but for a subject this small, it needs to be LARGE scale. Thank you for the detailed description of building and panting. Much appreciated.

Thnx Jamme, And there's more to come. Including two Topcolors books on the Fw190, one book on the Corsair and a special 3D book on the Ta154. Cheers, Jeroen

Nope! Does it make you want to buy the book?

Last Hope of the Luftwaffe Me 163, He 162, Me 262 (Painting Schemes and Decals) Jacek Pasieczny, Simon Schatz, Arkadiusz Wróbel Kagero Books (Topcolors series #37 / 15037) Available from Kagero for €12,50 Lets take a look at one of the latest releases of Kagero books featuring profiles and decals for three Last Hope weapons of the Luftwaffe. This book marks the 37th release in their amazing Topcolors series. For only €12,50 you not only get the book with profiles, but also a quality sheet of decals to build them. Not only in our glorious 1/32 scale, but also in 1/48 and 1/72. Earlier volumes in these series feature both armour and planes. Sometimes linked by topic, like Panzerwaffe 1941-1943 or Fighters over Japan. Sometimes by particular subject, like the P-38 Lightning or Pz.Kpfw III. What amazes me is the €12,50 is a fair price for a sheet of Cartograf decals. Right? But with these series you get the book as a nice bonus. Or you get the decals as a bonus with the book. Depends on how you look at it. In this case we get 10 beautiful color profiles of the Me 163 (Super Timing!!), He 162 and the Me 262. The book is size A4 and counts 18 pages. The language is featured in both Polish and English. The first 3 profiles feature: << Needless to say, but the next three profiles could not have come on a better time. The new Meng kit will be a perfect platform to try one out on. Click here to read James Hatch' review. >> • Me 163 B V53; W.Nr. 16310062, 'White 9'. Flown by Uffz. Kurt Schiebeler of 1./JG 400, Brandis Germany, Early August 1944. This plane really did see a lot of action and held a score of downing 6 bombers at the end of the war. • Me 163 B; 'White 10'. Flown by Lt. Hans-Ludwig Löscher of 1./JG 400, Brandis, Germany, Late February 1945. This plane has some mystery clouding it's Werknummer, so a good subject to sink you teeth in. What strikes is the interesting presence of a DF loop antenna on the spine. • Me 163 B V52; W.Nr. 16310061, 'Yellow 1', flown by Lt. Reinhard Opitz, Kapitän of 7./JG400, Nordholz, Germany, April 1945. If you can't decide between normal camo and mottling, then this is the profile for you! • Heinkel He 162 A-1; W.Nr. 310003, 'Yellow 5' of 3./JG 1, Leck, Germany, May 1945. This plane has three nice small badges on the left side of the fuselage, of: 1./JG 1, 3./JG and JG 1. • Heinkel He 162 A-2; W.Nr. 120067, 'White 4' of 1./JG 1, Leck, Germany, May 1945. The wingtips show the thin green flowery lines. Difficult to get right with free hand airbrushing, but an interesting feature. • Heinkel He 162 A-2; W.Nr. 120028, 'White 3' of 1./JG 1, Leck, Germany, May 1945. An early production aircraft with lots of RLM 76 on the fuselage. A nice break from the more seen later schemes. • Heinkel He 162 A-2; W.Nr. 120231, 'White 6' of 1./JG 1, Leck, Germany, May 1945. Yes! This is my favorite. Not just because I dove into this scheme quite deep and used it for my own build, but mainly because of the un-painted fuselage and filler lines. The are quite a lot of different interpretations of this plane, but I do believe this profile knocks it out of the park. • Messerschmitt Me 262 A-2a, W.Nr. 110613, '9K+DK', flown by Ofw. Hermann Wieczorek of 2./KG 51, Rheine-Hopsten, Germany, 25th February 1945. You better set your airbrush to 'fine' for this snaky mottling. Very interesting scheme. Especially with the white outlined swastika on the tail, which is not common for this production batch. • Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a, 'Yellow 2' of 3./KG(J) 54, Prague-Ruzyně, Czechoslovakia, May 1945. Very interesting scheme with a blue/white checkered band on the fuselage and thin RLM 81/82 lines between the camp patches. A small unit badge with a Totenkopf tops it all of. And last but certainly not least: • Messerschmitt Me 262 A-1a, 'White 34' of III./EJG 2, Brunnthal, Germany, May 1945. The next 262 I'll build will most definitely be in this scheme. Unpainted wings. Filler over panel lines. Natural metal. Primes. A nose donated from a different plane, as well as the left wing tip. This has Frankenstein written all over it. I'm sold. Every profile has a short description of the plane and it's most noticeable features. The decals themselves are printed the way we can expect from Cartograf. Perfect in register and true of color. Conclusion Basically the most comprehensive set of decals to be found. And with the new Meng Me 163 this set could not have come at a better time! Very highly recommended Our sincere thanks to Kagero Publishing for the review sample. To purchase directly, click HERE. Jeroen Peters

Oh no.... It's the Plastic Planner! Well... I can plan all i like, but I have two shortcomings. I build to slow and am too easily distracted. But... I'm willing to do a stab in the dark: • 1/32 WnW Camel • 1/32 Revell Bf108 Taifun • and if time permits their new 1/32 Ta154 too.

Lovely set of decals. Great review! Baby mine is my favorite. Love those black cowlings.

Great review Nick! I've got these sets too and the are needed (in my humble opinion) to spice up these huge surfaces of plastic. Cheers

That's one damn nice build John! Just wow. Congrats! (Will you bring it to Telford? I'd love to whirl it through the air while making silly airplane noices!)

Yes!! Yes!! They were the ones' with the red markers! I remember now...

Thats a beast! Great work. Now for some action photo's?? Cheers, Jeroen

Hi James, Yes it is, and so is the Fokker E.III. Cheers, Jeroen

Hi guys, Just came back from another great edition of the dutch Scale Model Challenge. I went there with Cees and stumbled on Erik, Huub and Jeroen Veen. Here's a pic taken by Jeroen Veen's lovely partner: (left to right: Cees, Jeroen Veen, Huub, Jeroen (me) and Erik.) Jeroen Veen, Huub and Erik were judges in the competition area. This was the first time i ever saw judges using permanent red marker on the models to point out flaws... Very disturbing. This is just a pic of a german car i wanted to share. Pretty Dumb hm? Jay Laverty showing us how to apply a wash. This was right before Cees called him a Moron. We are dutch. So when you tell us to put more on, we can get confused... Jose Pinto doing a demo: 1/16 T-38: Great way of sneaking a braille scale under the radar: Amazing work by Marcel du Long: Really cool Belgian scheme by Jan Goormans: And to top it all off I met with Maciej from Kagero books. Really nice guy. He gave 5 new Kagero books to the LSM staff to review. (I promise the review will feature better pics):

Nice progress.. Great detail out of the box. Cheers! Jeroen

Ehhh.... hello! Wow... That's amazing. You must have been keeping this quiet for some time! Great stuff. I'm following.

Hi Erik, Yes. I believe (from memory) there are only cables connected from the control column to the underside of the wings. No cables run upwards. The cables on top (running over the small wheel) provide the opposing forces. Now stop drawing! and build..
