Canopy? Material? Photo? , Please!

Sure is only that: I wanted to make a deliberate provocation. I think the discussion is kind of irrelevant standing against material evidence (in kind of non perfect colour photos). Is there any proof for Light Green ("82") / Brown(ish) ("81") 109 Ks ????. I know , I know the answers to "why do you take part in the discussion ?" To make it simple: speculation is a different galaxy than evidence. My Italian K-4 will be gray/green - and it will look perfect.

Q: What is the correct RLM colour call out for the green spots on this (and other) tall 109 rudder? https://asisbiz.com/il2/Bf-109K/NJG11/images/Messerschmitt-Bf-109K4-Stab-I.NJG11-Friedrich-Karl-Nasen-Muller-Doppelwinkel-rudder-01.jpg

Great Job ! (the definite F-4E has still not come GWH,Kinetic,Tamiya ????)

would really like to see the complete (cut off) left clear sprue

Thanks for the pictures. It indeed looks very trumpyish.

MiG-21F-13 1/48 In the second half of July, the Limited edition EFKO / MiG-21F-13 model kit will be available for pre-sale in the Czechoslovak Air Force. (from the leaflet) Please, can someone clearify what this means, when these kit editions will be out as a real thing, and if some deals can be made....?

Hello, Please, make IM canopies for the Ju 388, even if it becomes € 20 or 25 more per kit. Alistair shows the way with the 32nd Defiant. I myself will not buy any conversion set or kit with vac-canopies or clear resin, even if the "rest" ist first class quality. - Just to give you an opinion. - Sincerely Andreas Beck

......and now waiting for a down scaled cousin from Meng - appearing in form of either K-4, Mtt. G-10 or G-6/14/AS ????? (would make some sense to the story as a whole)

July www.facebook.com/ICM.Models

some previously announced new toolings (e.g. 48th Mustang) or re-issues (e.g. CH-46) are missing, maybe they will come as "surprises"?

I hope this photo can stay here. The reason for unavailability was the deletion of this photo from Flugzeugforum (I had too many postings there). The picture here was linked from this German site.

Revell stand at the EME in Lingen today

....and if I may ask about your considerations in a bigger scale ?

young ponies run behind the storm?

Yes Sir, I totally agree - my thoughts were in the sphere of a different scale.

Well, Easter egg hunt isn´t an intellectually sophisticated game, but people seem to like it. So, where is the final and correct S/CS-92 (aka Me 262) and a La-7 and a.........

I know, this is no space for wish listing - but there are some imaginations with An 72/74 dioramas - from the Arctic to Asian deserts.....

The wheels on the G4 are exactly the same as on the G-14 No, they are not. They are still the (spoked) type with three bolt fasteners (bake drum) for the F-type legs. From G-6 on there were reinforced ("thicker") legs and the brake drums had six bolts. Only the tyres were already 660 x 160.

Thank you for the long wait! The G-4, a key aircraft that connected the early and late models of the Bf 109 G, will soon be in your hands!” from The Old Man Blog No.136 - No way! has become a real thing?!

Look low right: Zvezda changed its symbol, from the new catalogue (also handed out at the Nuremberg Fair). Seemingly now an Austro-Russo company. I think Eddie should no longer boykott!

If the promised art is maintained by the tool shop ?

The crucial steps in making model kits are 3: research, design, tooling (no 4 would be production) The first two are managed rather well by Revell. The weak point is number three. Even world leading class research and design work can be ruined with a bad tool shop. The 32nd F/A-18 E/F and now seemingly the 72nd F-35 show this inconsistancy. Revell is/was spending resources on research and design above average while while tooling is/was below. Of notice is also that all areas are outsourced at nearly 100% (Airfix or Tamiya have a completely different concept). If Carrera-Revell was ready to invest more into tooling, even with the result of higher Main Street Pricing, it would have a positive result on the hobby in general (more fun for newbies and more contentment with the core of the hobby). A well made 50 part kit at level 3 that respects all aspects still has the potential for a kit of the year - we will see.
