Mixing 1:1 RLM 02 with RAF Hemp is a decent match. Gunze is my weapon of choice. Vedran

I've been eyeing that rediculously pricy set for some time and you're correct - thinner walls with full interior detail. I can't find any difference in outside size or shape. Vedran

Finally the chisel nose beauty. NMF or SEA? Choices, choices

Do note that the price includes free shipping worldwide.

Great link, thank you. The topic of Wirraway scale drawings is most interesting. Cheers, Vedran

What is commonly known as LaGG ser.66, the last production version.

Finally. Republican Natascha coming up. Vedran

This is the Cold War Studios nose cone.

Interior is in A-14 Steel Grey which is a mid-grey color, some parts of construction or boxes could be in black, or ALG-5 (which is a 50:50 mix of yellow(ish) chromate ALG-1 and A-14, resulting in slightly metallic RLM02). Whellbays are also in A-14. http://massimotessitori.altervista.org/sovietwarplanes/pages/colors/color-matches.htm Vedran

Those are from 2002. There was a improved reprint in 2008 IIRC. Vedran " "Luftwaffe Colours 1935-1945, 1st edition", published by Hikoki in 2002, hardcover, 256 pages. English translation of #5, with better photo reproduction, but missing all the color photos and the index, which is a major bummer. The camouflage pattern diagrams are in color, but rather small. Contains better quality color samples than #5, but the printers screwed up some colors, so Hikoki subsequently issued a supplemental page with 10 corrected samples. "Luftwaffe Colours 1935-1945, 2nd edition", published by Hikoki in 2008, hardcover, 360 pages. Revised layout with slightly larger photo reproduction and enlarged camouflage pattern diagrams. Contains some additional/different photos, some additions to the text (e.g. a couple of pages on JG 54 dark camouflage colors, some extra paragraphs here and there), plus revised translations of a few passages. Still missing the color photographs in #5, but the index is back! "

Thank you. Vedran

Are these printed or painted on? Vedran

And 1/48 HB's are the worst of the lot.

Move the ETC, and there is a difference in engine side cowl panel fasteners - on thenA8, there are three downward pointing fasteners, on the A7 only the rear one points downward, the first two go upward over the gun throughs panel. Vedran

In fact, I am a huge fan of Zvezda +Vector I'll be happy to be proven wrong re: Tamiya. But until then, no buying. Vedran
