  1. I've got some delay due to a "side kick" - a pair of P47s... The P 47 N (Sword kit ) and P 47 D 28 (Revell kit, but with slimmed belly amd in Brasilian livery...) The "N" is ready, maybe I will manage to do photos tomorreow for RFI, "D" need some finish still" But now - I am returning to Savoias. Some small progress on SM 73 (exhaust pipes, ventilation devices on fuselage top, glued engines on positions) was achieved... To be continued,,, Regards J-W
  2. One from Norwegian campaign time
  3. I am not sure if the both band and letters are of the same color on the photo. It could be be measured by optical density, just to check if the codes did not retain still the gery color.
  4. I think that the Finnish were planned to be those one of a bigger variant with Bristol Mercury engines... T8w/c Here on wheels and on floats: Cheers J-W
  5. Thanks, it is clear that the scheme is 72/73/65 as expected for machine operating over sea. I think that the individual letter could be also green on blue. Photos show that when white, on bottom were also white... Regards J-W
  6. Hi, Recently there is a nice Fokker T VIII on RFI by @Courageous That recalled me, that I have it in stash but I have some nor resolved doubts about the details of schemes which I have under consideration regarding a scheme to do... 1. There is a set of three photos of Fokker T VIII in Luftwaffe colors and code D1+AB. https://falkeeins.blogspot.com/2017/12/fokker-tviii-seaplane-in-luftwaffe.html The scheme is nice, it has yellow cowlings and rudder, plus emblem of 126 Seeauflarungsgruppe, a man who watch using a telescope. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/t4vbb5mZfnMsR26F6-z6kxF4MaL-NFG2-kEGbOdenH6DahE2jWdYLxyswqTBLrXjCnYAr0XZ-bNPX3Vxod3IvlvGHuNQrQ What color is "A" - is is bright green? I know that there were rules about these colors, but have not learnt them... Should there be A (in color) repeated on bottom and upper sides of wings, close to wingtips? 2. D1+0? - the last character - is it "H"? Liek suggested here https://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Ar-196/SAGr126-D1/pages/Fokker-T-VIII-(W)-1.SAGr126-D1+OH-profile-SS1008-P26.html 3. D1-MH - are there any other photos which help in answer to quastion - does it have white band or yellow elements? https://i0.wp.com/www.destinationsjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Fokker-T-VIII-W-1.SAGr126-D1MH-quayside-at-Grecian-port-Skaramagas-Athens-Greece-Seeflieger-P44.jpg?resize=768%2C489&ssl=1 Here it is suggested only white spinners. https://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Ar-196/SAGr126-D1/pages/Fokker-T-VIII-(W)-1.SAGr126-D1+MH-at-Grecian-port-Skaramagas-Athens-Greece-Seeflieger-P44.html Here is also D1+LH, without any doubts... I am not sure that I will go with German one. BTW - There is interesting article on T VIII in RAF https://www.ipms.nl/artikelen/nedmil-luchtvaart/vliegtuigen-f/vliegtuigen-f-fokker-t8 , suggesting two grey CC colors from top, not TLS. On bottom side large Dutch triangles are still seen behind UK roundels... Regards J-W
  7. The resin canopy when you paint with glossy varnish both sides looks ok for me
  8. Nice result! You have recalled me, that I have this kit in stash but I am not sure what painting scheme I will go on, and therefore it is there for last 20 years already... Initially I was sure, that I will go with a Dutch, as yours, then I was considering British but recently I am thinking on a German one, what I completly excluded at the moment of buing. I remeber that I told in hop, that certainly I will not go with a German scheme. But I realize, that the majority of use was by Germans in MTO and there are couple of photos how it looked like. The Dutch had no time for operational wide scale use and Britts did not faund it good enough, I think... There was also a spectacular escape from occupied Netherland to UK by highjacking one of them, what is aslo tempting! Anyway - your model is stimulating me to go with it sooner then later... Best regards Jerzy-Wojtek
  9. Yes, it is quoted "British Pathe" in figure full description... The movie is not opening on mine computer for some reasons, however... Regards J-W
  10. Very nice! I hope mine watanabe ill be a half similar nice! I am very happy that I could help it could be added, that we met in Krakow face to face and went together to Choroszy's small factory... regards j-w
  11. I have a Norwegian journal Flyhistorie No 35 (2015) Inside there are two articles on Norway compaign in 1940. There are some interesting profiles published (just for discussion purposes): So it looks like with a camo at least from upper side. but also Only the Empire (with MF 11) and Walrus are supported by photos The large fin flash I think came into use later in 1940 - the description is that it comes from the footage as I understand made in Harstad harbour (?) ...(?) in 1940. Regards J-W
  12. I have a AVions Hors Series No 24 (likely you have it also I think). This contains photos made after campaign 1940 of mostly crashed or demolished planes. On page 59 there is a photo of high tail Potez XXV Ni 169 (K055) taken at Orly in 1940, another on p. 86 )TT machine but I think with Hispano), also on p. 85,on p. 55 there is one with Salmson 18 (no any number given), regards J-2
  13. Gilles, Congrats for the new items! I am just curious if the Potezez XXV with Renault or Farman engines were still in any use (training for instance) in 1940 in France. There is a photo Having you experience with Potez, what engine is it? Serial is given (1693) but also the shape of engine is well visible. Regards J-W
  14. Many thanks for your efforts In general, the non-existing of something is much more difficult to prove then existing, so there is still some hope... Regards J-W
  15. Thanks a lot!, I am surprised that they ficional stuff... especially with airplane which exists...
