Yes, that's the P-51B i meant. Thank you. 🙂

According to my information, the camouflaged wings have also been filled/puttied. P-51B - wikimedia But i know a picture where you could clearly see the rivets on the wing. I just can*t find it. It was a somewhat well known P-51B ..... However, the wings of the P-51 were painted in any case (as far as I know). Either olive drab or with an aluminium coloured paint. There are pictures where you can see the puttied panel lines "bleeding" through the aluminium coloured paint. It's a nice touch to the model if you replicate this effect. Maybe someone with more insight can help with more information. Andreas

Hi Andres, i used the informations in this thread for my P-51D ---> P-51D wings issue This picture sums it up nicely ---> "panel lines" hth Andreas

Are Helicopters OK? Decals for the Mi-24 (1/72) are available from Eduard: ---> EDUARD store ---> Dukmodell.com MiG-21UMD Croatian 165 Display Plane ---> Scalemates MiG-21 Around the World ---> Aviationmegastore ---> Dukmodell,com Hth

Thank you all. @georgeusa I tried to make it look a bit like in this picture Source: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/spitfire-dedicated-to-essex-war-veteran-revealed-1.2755939?cmp=fbtl It is just an interpretation by me Andreas

Hello all, this is my latest work and also my first posting in this section of the forum. It is the Spitfire Mk.IXc late by Eduard in 1/72 scale (Weekend Edition), a fantastic little kit. The only modification was using the middle part of the "closed-canopy"-version. Decals are a mix from the weekend edition and the ProfiPack. Paints used are from Humbrol and Revell and the weathering was done with oils. Hope you like it. Comments and critics are welcome off course. Andreas

Brush painted? That's impressive!

You could try to attach it with the help of a matchstick. I always cut those tiny parts with a match beneath and the free hand above it. Lick and stick 🙂 Andreas

Quoting "Aircraft Profiles 161 - The Me 210/410 Series": "The Me 410 Hornisse (Hornet) was essentially similar to the ill-fated Me 210, but introduced an eight-inch increase in the engine cowlings to accommodate the new power plants". But so far i haven't found another source that confirms this. Still looking for more infos.... Me 210A-1/Me 210Ca-1 fuselages had the same dimensions. Older airframes were updated to that standard. The flaps on the Me 210C had plain flaps, so that should be okay. hope this helps

Very nice! Just a thought: Have you ever considered shortening the landing gear a little? I've built three of these kits so far and always shortened the undercarriage by 1.5 to 2 mm .

The lower wings have no further differences. Only the upper halves have different navigation lights. I contacted Eduard and told them about the problem. They replied that this is common with the DualCombo range and I could buy individual sprues from them. Probably not going to do that.... I mean, you get instructions in the form of a book. Chapter 1 is about the F-2 with all the information you need to build the model. Done. Then it goes to chapter 2, the F-4. Again, all the information needed to build it, just like the F-2. Only at some point you realise that the parts you need are missing because you already used them for the F-2. I mean, these are 2 separate instructions in one book. Okay... whatever. I'll make an insert for the wheel wells. At least try to. And please don't get me wrong... the kit is the best I've seen in 1/72 so far! Clever engineering, almost perfect fit, the decals (this time) very good....

"De jure and de facto" there should be a warning/notice in the instructions. And having already built the option "D" i am "de jure and de facto" not amused as i now can't build a second model from this kit. 👎

Have a look at this short video clip of a Danish 2A7 where you can see how the chassis works. Danish Leopard 2A7 Again just more inspiration ... 😀

I just found this recent picture of a Ukrainian Leopard 2A6 in action. May provide some inspiration. ------> Leo 2 Ukraine
