If you want a kit, Hasegawa released a Swiss 'Emil', both in 72 and 48 scale, with a photo boxart. However I'm afraid the kit does not reveal Swiss difference on cowlng MGs.

Finnish ones are also banned, so we see 2 types of roundels in decals provided in kits. For example, HAS B-239 has complete blue swastika on white disk, and blue cross on white disk while "arms" on clear sheet separately. Some kits print Finnish roundel or Nazi swastikas in pieces, 2 or 4, see ICM new Do17Z Finland service. Some symbols have been banned for weird, ridiculous reasons. Or just someone's dislike. Once I read on Taiwan forum, in 70-80s, KP MiG-15/17 kits' USSR and PLAAF decals would be cut off, even red star on boxart all painted with black. For China mainland, a pirated edition of Italeri Mirage 2000D deleted ROCAF version on decal sheet. You'll never know what will be banned here, neither do I....So lucky few modellers here... Gov. don't mention so little influence... even soJapanese plane and warship kits had been regarded as "something not right" on media, FUMAN(a coopeation of Bandai in China) was penalized for producing "Fascism toys" in the 90s, just WWII German armour.

Congratulations!

Very neat work.

I read some P-38 Droop snoots attached extra bomb racks. Also standard fighter version accepted this conversion. The racks "borrow" from other planes ? Or just field work.

Good kit, not easy fit, you've done a great work!

HB easy Bf109E has a better cockpit than major easy kits, although quite brief.

Great work.

Thanks. I'd like to add a tank in rear cockpit. Seems appropriate.

Except OOB, never trust Trumpeter/Copyboss or some else brands' "painting & marking" ....They just look for a colour drawing and print decals, or worse, they design whole kit at will. Whether it is correct? Who cares? Anyone remember Mr.Song and his "state of art" 1/32nd Su-25? Or MiG-25 under Kitty(Sh**ty) Hawk label?

I did not mean which is deeper or anything else...length and cross-section shape of rear fuselage differs, MENG's is longer...

Yes, only early production Me210 fuselage varies from others. So Italeri provides same fuselage for Me210/410. All Me410 versions are identical, except A-3(recce, housing cameras) and U4 conversion sets(BK5 cannon) enlarged former bomb bay part.

If you compare MENG and MONO/REV/PRO fuselage parts....

Great spray work!

Thanks a lot! Bf110 has 1 or 2 round panels on port side below nose MGs, cannot recall what's for these... Probably not enough space in nose for GM-1 tank? Or upper guns removed. Trying to download reference from your second link...Chinese network is fast...for Chinese websites....

It's a pleasure. Such camo is difficult even by airbrushing...

Dragon 1/72 Do335s base on same mold. Only B-2 kit have the leading edge part with mk103. Exhausts for day fighter included. B-6 may have different nose wheel part, cannot remember. Wing fit is tricky...but 335 series fits good.among dml"golden wing series", thinking of Ta152 and P-61....

From asisbiz. Sorry for just found photos taken in 1941. Is this one? Some differences.Seems area under "2" repainted with 02. Luftwaffe colours by Ullmann reads mottles consist 74,75,70 and 02 colours. IMO dark mottles shown at some photos may be 70 or fresh 74. Later there wolud not be so many colours..just upper camo schme.. Rear band was yellow in Barbarossa, when tranfered to Comiso, there must be some repainting, for ID band was white on MTO axis crafts. I do not think this 109 had been all over repainted, just around band instead. Pik-A on port cowling or both sides? Third image does not refer to Neuhoff, but this one also from III/JG53 .

You'd like to build an A-17 ? A rare version, most torpedo carrying Junkers were A-4.

I would build a Bf110G-2 with belly 37mm gun for my friend. When searching photos, I found an article building eduard's kit: http://modellboard.net/index.php?topic=37170.0 The author removed rear-firing MG81Z, replaced this area with a large tank. I don't understand German, in translator it reads"The central part of the tank of a 1:48 Revell-Eurofighter formed the basis for the tank of the GM-1 system. I built the cannon magazine in front of the radio seat out of round profile and plastic strips." Origin words: Das Mittelteil des Tanks eines 1:48er Revell-Eurofighters bildete die Basis für den Tank der GM-1 Anlage. Das vor dem Funkersitz liegende Kanonenmagazin baute ich aus Rundprofilenund Plastikstreifen auf. So GM-1 needs such a large tank? On Bf109 there's only a much smaller one behind cockpit. Although Bf110 consumes twice of Bf109...By the way, which fuel(or liquid) cap fits GM-1 tank? Historic photo of ZG76 indicates rear MG omitted, so it's a character of R1 conversion? Also WGr.21 reduced to one under each wing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Editted BK3.7 based on Flak 18, same magazine-fed. So the crew needed to manually reload the cannon?

HAS announced that A-4C will be re-released in Jan. 2019, so long awaited from their last A-4B/C.......

Valiant Publication's Airframe extra "Continuation War" includes an article building this kit. The author cut the struts in halves, lengthened them with plastic cards. Sorry cannot remember exact dimension.

Thank you! Great info.

Ta152H hardly has extra parts. The diagram painted with blue(unused parts)are all original Tri-master parts that fits metal parts. DML replaced all metal parts and most PE with their own plastic sprue. Unlike Fw190 and Me262 series, Tri-master only released one Ta152. Edit: Later they released a Ta152C with resin wing, cowling and propeller. I have no idea whether DML's 5548# Ta152C-0 refered these resin parts.

Sorry cannot paste photos' origin url. One is post-war Dannish : http://spitfiresite.com/2007/10/spitfire-pr-mk-xi-in-royal-danish-air-force.html the other one: https://www.worldwarphotos.info/gallery/uk/raf/spitfire2/spitfire-pr-ix-pl965/
