So with a week to go I thought I'd set out my placeholder... I'll be building (and hopefully finishing this time) the Eduard Bf109E-3 in 1/32 using the markings for Black 11+- of 5/JG3 based at Brombos in early August 1940 which are part of the Kagero Battle of Britain Part 2 set and which were very kindly sent to me by @Silver Fox and for which I would like to record my gratitude: thank you Andy Trying to dig out the history of this aircraft and the pilot has produced very little apart from a few pictures on Asisbiz, so any further information about either would be g- 105 replies

Hi all, second attempt to upload photos of second lock down build. Cockpit opened with razor saw, seat belts Tamiya tape and offcut PE, which while rough close up are better than the Tamiya decals, I think. Working on Arma Hobby Hurricane which completes my 172 BoB set and have a stash of 1/48 Eduard late model spit, Revell Hunter 1/72 to be built as FR10 and a Phoenix 1/72 T38 grasshopper (ancient Vacform and definitely one for later....). How is it stash grows faster than kits. anyway here it is and criticism welcomed.

Hi All, second completion since rejoining during lock down. Now working on Arma Hobby 172 Hurricane Mk1 and that will complete my BoB set. Some decal and paint finish issues, but learning all the time, Seat belts Tamiya tape and off cut PE, rough but better than decal, canopy opened with Razor saw. Stash now includes 1/72 Hunter F6 to be built as FR10, Vacform T38 grasshopper (waiting a while on that one!) and an Eduard 1/48 late model spit. Also have a hankering for a F104......

Hello all; I normally stick to Allied air forces but this paint scheme has been a bucket list for a while and I finally had a go at it. The full story of the multiple approaches and repaint can be found on my site. As usual, comment and corrections welcome. Cheers; Mark.

In May of 1942, JG 27 had a 4th Staffel attached to it's third group to perform exclusively in the fighter-bomber (Jabo) role. Depending on the source, I find the aircraft listed either as the 109-E4B or E7B? This unit only lasted about 3-4 months when III.Gruppe relinquished it's control, and it became part of JaboGruppe Afrika. Any ideas of how these aircraft might have been marked up? I'm thinking it was typical Luftwaffe tropical scheme, with aircraft number possibly in blue (Staffel colour) on the engine cowl, and the wavy style Gruppe marking also in blue. Gruppe emblem

Hi all, Is it really five years since we last did this? Wow! Hopefully there will be time and energy for at least a couple of builds, but this one was my birthday present back in February that was bought by my wife specifically for this GB. We live quite near the southernmost areas of the Battle, and the Solent is quite a key part of family life, so when Airfix came out with its recent Dogfight Double of the new tool Spit Mk.Ia and Bf109e in the markings of the ill-fated combatants John Dundas and Helmut Wick, it seemed like the right thing to get it. Of course the fatal encounter between th- 30 replies

So I am calling this done. It is the Airfix 1/72 Messerschmitt 109E-7 Trop (A02062) built in the hope of representing white 8, the mount of Ofw Franz Dorr of 7./JG 5 at Petsamo, March 1942. This build held a few firsts for me. First attempt at a wash. First use of some Tamiya weathering set. First go at fitting antennae (used stretched sprue), though I think I need to add the strand that joins the fuselage mid way between the rudder and the antennae mast. Ailerons dropped exactly11 degrees to match the dropped flaps (are you looking Joachim), and a crappy attempt at painting an opening a
