  1. This! The link was merely if you wanted to do just that.
  2. Also wondered about this - that one is real strange really...
  3. Looking forward to this - it´s a nice aircraft! As for the nose and all that - see here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234932089-fairey-battle-nose-for-airfix-kit-172-valiant-wings/
  4. Looking real nice, thanks for sharing! What colours did you use? Especially the grey one..?
  5. Ah, ok - got it now! That Spitfire looks real nice! Saw it yesterday actually, in that Polish Spitfire Mk. IXs book. (first one?) Looking forward to that Mustang!
  6. Can´t imagine that anyone would - this is great for Polish Mustang-info in one place.. Great looking Mustangs! I hope you post the fourth on this site later on! Actually, I didn´t realize Horbaczewski´s Mustang(s) were three either. Thought it was one re-painted with D-day stripes.. Didnt even look at the serials. Oh, that´s funny! I can see why you modelled his Mustang! Where is it? Only streets I know of in Warszawa is Ulica Dobra (Dobre?) and Inflancka..
  7. But those from "Polish Mustangs" are (more) correct, right? My brothers wife said so too (beak) but since that Osprey book said "darling" and "kid" I got confused.. Thanks for that! Nice! Have you posted pics?
  8. Thank you both! I have that superb book! Bought my first Polish-designated Mustang III today. Not sure which decals I´ll be using though. Horbaczewski is really interesting but not uncommon it seems (both in Tamiya´s and Academy´s 1:48 and 1:72-kits it seems!) I have studied a little Polish, have one close Polish friend and my brother is married to another so I think I´ll manage.. However, those two don´t know Horbaczewski´s nickname so you can help me with that if you want to (Dziubek). I know it says "darling" or "kid" in "Polish Aces..." (Osprey) but is there more meaning in it..? Anyways, I am sure there will be a 65. Squadron Mustang IVa as well as a bunch of Polish ones - I have soo many decals for them and hate to let them go to waste.
  9. I think it looks real sweet, great job! Too bad you didn´t get anywhere but keep up the great work! Interesting decals, I just bought one today and was about to use the RAF decals but Luftwaffe seems interesting too..
  10. Thanks for the thought. I will fix them in other ways and have a Spare from Airfix for the stencils.
  11. Yepp, those red cloth-decals are a pain in the @ss.. Atleast I didn´t manage them - far easier to mask and paint/spray. Looking real good so far! It´s a beautiful little kit, ain´t it?
  12. Harsh or not.. ..thanks for the pics, haven´t seen them before and there are a couple of Polish Mustangs in the stash.. Thanks for the heads-up on the louvres as well!
  13. Stunning work! The model looks awesome, I sadly missed out, and you painted it absolutely perfect! Great job! Other than Closterman´s markings, what did you get, if any, in the kit?
  14. Haha, Well, it´s not really that good but - thanks anyway. No guesses on the Mk.IXc´s pilot? There is a famous photo of him applying those kill-markings. And his father was from Sweden. ´nough clues!
  15. Thanks, I was thinking that at first too but since it says Mk.VI... But it is for the Mk.VI - and those were used to make the Tse-tse..? Though I cannot find any other parts for the 6 pdr for example. I will definetly have a look at that book, though I think my quota this Spring is used up, there are alot of books on the way to me by the postal service. "Mosquito Aces 42-45" is one of them, thankfully.
  16. Hi, have built a small bunch of 1/72 aircraft since just before Christmas - after a 17-18 year long pause.. Just tried some new shading techniques on this one however and still feel I have looads to learn. But none the less, I am kinda happy with it. Compare it with an earlier Mk. IXc (Airfix) and I think that shadng, even if far from perfect, did make it slightly better looking. Then there are some other problems, silvering, too straight wing, slightly un-aligned cannons etc.. But I will do that better next time. Decals are from Tamiya, Techmod and Xtradecal. Added a resin Rotol-propeller from Quickboost (?) and brass-cannons from Aber. Appaerently the Polish markings didn´t have "poland" under it on this particular aircraft, I later saw.. Oh well.. Oh! And a bonus gold-star will be rewarded to the first person who tells me which ace flew that Mk. IXc! Sorry for the bad pics by crappy lightning...
  17. Hi, bought a Tamiya Mosquito some time ago and for some reason I also bought this piece: But I don´t know what it is (yeah, weird to buy it - I know! ). So, what is it?? Looks to me that there are supposed to be just two MGs, two have been deleted? SOme kind of radar? I actually did put in quite an effort to find out myself, searching for pics, reading on Mossie-sites but so far I have come up with.. ..nothing! Not even here. So, double embarrassed!
  18. Absolutely stunning cockpit for a 1:72 aircraft! That green, er brown..? Looks even and nice, will be interesting how it turns out and matches with the other camo-colours!
  19. There is supposed to be more attempts..?
