Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 11, 2020 Well, I took stock of my Thud good it’s and found these stuffed away. I think Aires will work better for me, but BB is pretty decent stuff, too. Eli’s decal sheet is a huge, huge bonus, so..... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 11, 2020 Ok, found the G-set, but so far no Weasel missiles and pylons. And no F-set. They’re here, just need to dig ‘em out. Also need to find a Master pitot, Quickboost refueling probe, resin wheels, and G-Faktor gear. This might be doable.... maybe 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're gonna camouflage the wings and paint the rest of the plane bright red and yellow.... The color profile of this aircraft said the pilot had it repainted constantly to confuse his opponents. So, a lot is speculation and different colors of different parts from different transition periods. I used the snapshot from a specific time for this scheme. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted December 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 11, 2020 Tony, you set yourself up for that one with the Oral-B comment. But yeah, Red and yellow make little to no sense if you're trying to hide from prying eyes. One thing I will say, though is that how effective that German mauve/purple is at camo. It's uncanny how that lozenge camo pattern like that will disappear in European fields. And in 1917, there were a whole lot more fields, and a whole lot less industry. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that about that particular pilot, Tony. Thanks for sharing! Thank goodness for whatever got the Germans started with color schemes. It certainly adds a lot to WWI modelling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krow113 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Getting close to the end of the holiday rush. Orders still coming in and going out: Crib boards are a standard now , rolling trays were a new venture and well received. Something to make from the smaller pieces of wood. Also a year end clearing of sorts started , with a mind towards uncovering A Gotha . And a feeling of the need to finish the model this year surfacing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
