  1. Thanks for further clarification on this subject! I would certainly be interested in any additional images that help with this discussion & sorry for stealing the thread from pure kit development to the markings story. Still, it's, in a way, part of it all...
  2. Hello CorsairF4U Very interesting photo! It is such a pity that it's in the backlight & cannot be investigated more precisely. Do you know if the color of the overspray was dark blue or black? Do you know what #10 in the foreground has under the windshield? Except -5Ns that few were black, do you know if there any -2s that were completely painted in black?
  3. Both box cover art & 201 instructions inside show the heavy overspray of darker blue (or black) on the fuselage & cowling sides, so I would love to have a visual confirmation from some kind of source that this had happened...
  4. I guess they will scale this up to 48 just like they do with other models they do in 72.
  5. Oh my God! I am drooling! Wish my eyesight was good enough for 1/72!! I simply love this aircraft family!
  6. Do you know where photographic material for box top markings can be found? Should it feature Black 201 like in the instructions or no markings on the fuselage? Also if you know where I can find the photos of 201 (shown in the instructions) - I would be very happy to hear from you.
  7. heat it slowly & push up It's resin, after all
  8. I will buy at least one of each since I don't mind building both schemes from the covers
  9. it seems 2nd boxing of Spanish machines (4822) will be coming with 22rib wing!
  10. My biggest issue with these amazing 3D printed models is a need to use CA which I am so horrible with. Probably a reason why I dislike using PE parts too.
  11. Always wondered why nobody kitted early Fw 190s in 1/48 in injected form. V1, V5s, A-0, A-1... Even a few more early prototypes could easily be done out of these moulds.
  12. I love the Blue "propaganda" version, but I think I will also build a Metalic one now that I have finally got the kit purchased!
  13. Yes, John, That's exactly why I asked what is happening in the 48 scales. I Wish somehow it was all there so I could buy what is available here in China & build a model I find fancy based on the references (and decals) that inspire me. I hope Type 4 will come too, or even some of the very early I-16s & prototypes in 1/48 scale. Or am I dreaming too wildly?
  14. Thanks so much for the clarification Malc! I like the markings quite a bit but I already have R1 ('32) & R2 ('33) and I belive it would be too much for me to add another one no matter how much I like GeeBee. But I am happy that the aircraft receives the attention from a brand(s) that are trying to do all the variations. I hope we will receive some more of the post-war racers from these brands. I would be super happy
  15. OK. So basically both Chinese version & Early version are with one wing with less ribs. Thanks!
  16. Does anyone know what the A&A 4808 - Gee Bee R1/Z Model 1934 "Intestinal Fortitude" represents? with Red 7 and NR2101 it looks like R2's later version from '34... What am I missing?
  17. Do different 1/48 models come with different wings? (early & late)?
  18. If this would be made into 1/48 scale I will be the happiest 50 year old kid around!
  19. I have never seen a single photo of such conversion
  20. yes. that's the one. Thank TAG! Search never works for me
  21. Hello all, Over on the Hyperscale, there was a discussion among jmarcp, G.R.Morrison & myself on Jan 05, 2020, called "Question on the FW-190A8/R11 aircraft !" Sadly, I don't know how to find this discussion on Hyperscale. Maybe someone else is better at searching? it discusses the same questions which were raised here, namely, differences in details on the machines. Back then, I didn't have a clear image of the White 9 on hand & I thought that the machine in the background was a White 11, but now it is clear that it's a White 14. In the discussion, I came to the "conclusion" that the machine shown in Blimpyboy's 2nd photo is not the same as the one in Seawinder's top (1st) image, based on the different surfaces of the airfield (but is it really a crucial detail to define the airframe!?)
  22. Those are two different aircraft in Blimpyboy's post White 9 and White 14 IIRC (White 14 is seen in the 1st photo's background, too - you can see it more clearly here: https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/focke-wulf-fw-190-ta-152-projects-variants.3603/page-7 This is White 9 (and I somehow never believed in its "yellow" cowl. Simon Schatz did the profile of White 9: http://www.rlm.at/cont/profil07_e.htm
  23. I would love one in 1/48 scale - that is for sure
  24. True. Probably, the ones in Spain and maybe very early war could have had the primer applied but I would not count on it from BoB for sure. Also, some materials (like fabrics & wood) received some primer/dope or similar even until the war's end. I would believe that those "blue" fuselages could easily be RLM76.
  25. RLM colors were developed in such way that they didn't require any priming
