I have contacted the author, asked for clarification.

time to add more info.
as said before, this will be Wulfs aircraft from the comic 'The Grand Duke'
A nice looking comic, a bit overly dramatic and boobies all over the place (not a bad thing, look at the authors FB at what I assume to be his wife)
but it is the drawings that make it, I would love to be able to afford some of the artwork, really it is that good!
Curiously the black tailed aircraft is only ever shown from the right.
though there are pics of what I assume to be an earlier iteration from the left.

gonna tag @Duncan B in this....

Still have one in the stash!
Monogram were legendary for the amount of detail they could put in kits.....

Was sort of hoping it might be from an existing unit giving me the chance to get a decal...
Just a comic aircraft so nothing realistic.

From the Romain Hugault comic
this is the actual version I'm doing.
assuming the 'white 9' is the same aircraft, first two pics before, last one after his daughter died

how's this for an intake correction? (eduard kit):
I think the lower part needs more tweaking, maybe raising a bit?
Still amazed nobody did a replacement.....

This is a hotly-debated topic and possibly entirely untrue. Let me summarise the situation as I understand it.
Thomas Jentz - in whom we trust - came up with this idea from translation and/or interpretation of original source documents something over 15 years ago. Bovington's Panther was repainted according to that theory in 2009, about 12 years ago. It is tied up with the introduction of factory-applied camouflage.
He has since revised that interpretation, perhaps 5 years or so ago. That revised interpretation showed that the requirement for factories to paint the entire tank in dunkelgelb was removed. Areas that were to be painted in rotbraun or olivegurn were to be left in red primer BUT were to be overpainted in those colours and not left unpainted.
However, the very heated discussion on another forum about the temporary repaint in 2020 of Bovington's Jagdpanther in a now-discredited scheme flushed out photos of the MNH factory at war's end with both Panthers and Jadgpanthers clearly visible on the production line still in overall dunkelgelb. But there are in-service pictures of Panthers in hard-edged striped camouflage which is said to be a key identifier of MNH-built tanks. Which implies that the factory painting situation was flexible acording to the paint supply situation. A dunkelgelb tank out of the factory door was much better than one sat in the factory waiting for camouflage paint that might never come.
Let's not go down the rabbit hole of whether late war tanks were actually finished in a different shade of dunkelgelb with resedagrun and schokobraun camouflage.........
No, red lead primer did not have an RAL number as such. There is a colour RAL3009 Oxide Red but this is not the primer paint: it is a top colour that looks like the primer. But it might be as good a match as any.
Amen brother!
To add to this, parts would arrive from suppliers in oxide, and might well have been is different shades.
Just google red oxide primer images, and be amazed at the variety of reds!

Maybe work out a database scheme first?
Mine is
Medium (Air, Land, Sea, Space)
Country
Manufacturer
Main type - main type books
Sub type - sub type books - sub type drawings
For current projects, I go one deeper:
Sub type area ( cockpit, wheelbay, etc).
Pictures taken be myself, are dropped into this as well, irrespective of event.
Been trying to use MS Access to correlate this to kits etc, but as others have said, the task is huge, life's to short and I'm behind with building already....
Oh, and make backups!
MAKE BACKUPS!
NO REALLY, REALLY MAKE BACKUPS!

the Gordon A.A.Wilson book is also not about the Merlin, but also the aircraft it was used in and how they were used.
Just repeating how essential the Merlin was does not make it about the Merlin......
Received 'The secret horsepower race' and a quick thumbthrough makes it look much more like my cup of tea!

I wonder if using transparent plastic for WW1 subjects (where applicable of course!) would help getting that semi- translucent look 🤔

The intakes are okay I think as the rest of the exterior...only I hope that they address the control yokes as they are incorrect..but that’s it I think.
I would certainly buy it and build it out of the box when looking at those cad’s
extra news when I opened my Facebook as I mentioned this at ICM and the below was their reply!!

ICM plastic model kits
Hi Jan! Thank you for your appreciation and mentioned corrections with materials. I will send this information to our design department.

Wow, how different from Eduards general reactions....😊

If Rob de Bie can give his approval here.The editor of Jet&Prop answered that he can ask the readers what the "hangar" is in the next number of the magazine.
Thank you very much

Ask them for pics of the same in other locations as well!
Germans loved standardisation and I cannot find pics of it anywhere.

Might the rudder look darker because it is slightly turned?
Wouldn't be the first time!

Nice!
They should have added a unskinned version.
Think of it, all that detail, combined with a body comprised of ribs etc....

So Revell it is then!

Hmm, interesting.. I've been to the 'Nationaal Archief' a few times. Sometimes you find nothing, sometimes you hit gold.. 🙂

Just got lucky, the Archive is terrible to get around.
Even more so not knowing the terminology etc.

"Writes for a newspaper!?"
The mind boggles!
English is not my native language, but to bragg, it is as good as my native dutch.
But the sentence construction is terrible!
I even get the feeling from the text where he had a long break between writing, it is where the next chapter starts with repeating the chapter before it....
I write a lot of manuals, always start writing as if writing for your Mum, then remove content as necessary.

Wow, thanks for that great link, I did not know such a database existed! I think this photo shows the hangar best:
It shows quite clearly that the hangar in question had a 'hip roof' (had to look that up) with an extension to the rear, the extension had a 'gable roof'. Therefore I think it was indeed disguised as a farm. Pretty useless since it was surrounded by classic Deisel hangars..
This seems to answer the original question: it was a relatively normal hangar, probably disguised as a farm. I still cannot understand the massive structure though. On the other hand, these 'T-hangars' were big enough for a Fw200.
RobThe text mentions Volkel being the only one with more than average concrete construction.
Might be interesting to find out why that was!
A german engineer based there?
A local company making a buck in bad times?

nice prices!

I have given up on using a mechanical pressure switch, as apparently the flow rate is too low to make them work.
the dataplate on the compressor states 5 bar, so i'm guessing I'd need an electrical switch that turns off at 5bar and back on at 3 maybe?
not expecting to muse the airbrush at more then 2.5bar.
having a hard time finding something for such low pressures....any tips?

Cockpit bits for a B(I).6 Canberra?
in Aircraft Cold War
Posted
Scalemates has specifically dashboards for:
B-57
B.2
B.20
B(I).8
PR.9
But nothing for a B(I).6 which I'd like to build in the 'Raspberry Ripple' scheme.
I've ordered the requisite Alley Cat bits and initiated a Google search so far.
Also there's MB Mk.2,-3, -4 seats....what goes where and when?
