Gallery 3

This was a further post from last year that never got finished - so here it is!

Jg 26 were one of two Jagd Geshwader tasked with defending the Reich against first the RAF (& Allies) and the the USAAF.  They sported a stylised eagle marking over the fuselage - here's my go at it.....

Port side view.  The yellow noses and tails were standard recognition

On the workbench - July part 2

Here's a quick addition to the Heroics & Ros 1/300 Dw D520.  I like to add small details to planes to give them a bit of individuality or to correct details that the manufacturer has missed.

The real plane has a radiator intake (? OK, I'm guessing) that is either side of the engine and parallel to and below the exhausts.  It is pretty prominent (check the internet) so I added mine from plastic rod, filed to the correct profile.  It seems to be round at the spinner end of the plane and almost flat at the tail end.  Here's what mine looks like:

Gallery - 2

Jg 1 sported a really neat chequered paint scheme in late 1943.  Here is my 1/600 take on it....


3 staffel, JG 1, highly visible!

With 1 Staffel following 

From the side.  TD planes, Dom's Decals + markings, Beacon transfers (1/285 scale) tiny checks.

OK, I am very much experimenting here.  My aim is to have a separate page with pictures of my planes......

so here goes!



B 17s from 12 o'clock level.  TD planes, Dom's Decals.


Same planes from a slightly different angle.

Sturmstaffel 1 - Heavily armoured FW 190 A-6, A-7 & A-8s to take on the USAAF Heavies

From above - the effect is a little marred by the stands

Side view.  TD FW190, Dom's transfers.  The real model is sitting on a paperclip, what you are looking at is a lot bigger than reality.
