I hope they sell bucket loads and ushers in a new 32nd scale empire.

I'll take a 1/32 P-51B/C, MkV Spitfires or Hurricane family

Great build and really well painted. Those AK colours are spot on too, Im impressed,

It is one of Barkhorns birds but looking closer at other photos with the same crewmen around it the chevrons is slightly different so yeah never mind its a different plane. In regards to the one with the cowl up I'm not seeing a trop filter there, it would be alot longer than that.

Just had a look through my folders and found this, https://ibb.co/jkQNVw8 it maybe the same bird, and you can see the mounting points for where to filter was

I dont think the "umbrella stand" means much, theres photos showing them on birds with and without trop filters, I think you can go either way.

Hope this helps 15205 – 16000 Erla 03.43 – 08.43 G-6/G-5 16313 – 16675 Mtt Regensburg 02.43 – 04.43 G-6 18000 – 18899 Mtt Regensburg 04.43 – 07.43 G-6 19093 – 19999 WNF 02.43 – 06.43 G-6/G-4 20000 – 20800 WNF 06.43 – 08.43 G-6 26000 – 26135 Erla 08.43 – 09.43 G-6/G-5 27000 – 27185 Erla 09.43 – 10.43 G-6/G-5 110200 – 110500 Erla G-6 140000 – 140400 WNF G-6 160000 – 161000 Mtt Regensburg G-6 161100 – 161800 Mtt Regensburg G-6 162000 – 163000 Mtt Regensburg G-6 163000 – 164000 Mtt Regensburg G-6 164900 – 165000 Mtt Regensburg G-6 165000 – 166000 Mtt Regensburg G-6 166000 – 166400 Mtt Regensburg G-6 167200 – 167400 Mtt Regensburg G-6 410000 – 411000 Erla G-6 411000 – 412000 Erla G-6 412000 – 413000 Erla G-6 413400 – 413900 Erla G-6 440000 – 441000 WNF G-6/U4 441000 – 442000 WNF G-6 442000 – 442100 WNF G-6 510200 – 510300 WNF G-6 510600 – 511000 WNF G-6/G-14 The photo shows a pretty typical Regensburg upper fuselage demarcation

Well it seems someone has their hands on a WNW Lancaster https://www.facebook.com/modelscale/posts/220805916719481

Good stuff, its a rare kit these days I'd love to get hold of one.

The dropped flaps look great, Its the one thing that puts me off smaller scale Me262s but I think you have convinced me to try cutting them out, I also wouldnt worry too much about the slats, I think the ground crew were known to push them back to keep them safe from debris fouling them.

definitely looks like it would have gone up against Godzilla

Its so you can bend them up for a crash diorama

The lack of stencil data is really weird.

awesome work. I picked up the kit recently for a song as I built it when Jurassic Park first came out and the nostalgia hit me, I will have to save a couple of pics as reference as I love what you did with the jaw and the eyes looks fantastic

They will be out of my price range no doubt but good on them, if they cover the A-D, F and later G's and K-4 they will do very well as the Hasegawa one are getting long in the tooth and harder to find while the Trumpy ones have their own issues,

I listen to all the model podcasts as well and theres nothing but praise/nostalgia for the Monogram 48th kits. I can happily overlooks raised panel lines and some basic details for a nicely shaped century series fighter.

Revell would do well I think from a "classic" line of 1/48 monogram kits like airfix is doing, as well as rereleasing some of the great luftwaffe stuff from the 90s and early 2000s that you cant get anymore ( I really want the 48th Lippish P13) and I would snap up a couple of the 32nd Erla G-10s as I kinda thought that kit would hang around and didnt get one on release.

The weekend boxing of the AS is already super affordable with 5 decal options, I'm not sure how Academy can do better, or is it just to open a road to the Asian market?

Only Fujimi and Eduard have 1/48 AS 109G-6's in their catalog that I'm aware of.

They did, Border models have said they are fixing it on facebook.

looks really nice, there are some clear parts there I dont recognize as belonging to a 109 though and I cant tell what they are ment to represent, they kinds look like 20mm gondola parts.

You have save me a hassle as well, I have the same Zvezda kit and Stars decals for the 19th as my great uncle drove Shermans with the unit until his discharge in Nov 44, I wasnt aware of differences in early and late M4A2a and would have made the same mistake. I guess I can make a later OD one using some of the decals and maybe find an Asuka kit to do it proper at a later date.

New tool 251 half track is interesting but whos Jagdpanther will it be?

ooo, Not much in the way of N's on the market right now, this could do ok.

4 scheme weekend kits are very welcome and not limited to one factory scheme per box
