Greetings Friends! I am still in a German WW2 Build here and took a break with some easy (and very fun) missiles. It was great to build these two in a week and not have landing gear or cockpit or canopies to mess with! Just a refreshing fun and quick build! I highly recommend the V-1 or V-2 to add some excitement and easy building days in the workshop! Now I feel like I can tackle a Bomber! The V-1 is the Great Tamiya Kit built from the kit, and the wheel cart is included in the kit. Nice detail and what is fun is you can paint the V-1 any way you like and there is virtually no documentation to say you are wrong! So you can use imagination and have fun with it. I painted this RLM83 over RLM76 and mottled it. The decals were from the MPM V-1 Kit because I did not like the color of the Tamiya decals. Stencils should be Black (not GREEN) that came in the Tamiya kit. The MPM kit I got for the decals and they were cartograph and went on excellent. The V-2 is a Mauve Kit, that had restrained panel lines. Better than the Pegasus kit that had very heavy rivet detail. The Circle 37 decal came from the Pegasus kit, the rest of the decals are from Peddinghaus. Mauve kit gives you a 1/48 Werner Von Braun in white metal and I will paint him up and add to the display. The Launch Pad is from the Pegasus kit. I painted this in my favorite V-2 Scheme the Gezackt #1, an experimental cammo scheme that is documented with a great photo of this rocket in a hanger. The colors are Mr. Color: RLM71 Green, German Sandy Brown, and Snow White. They later simplified this scheme for production and the white was replaced with off white. However I really like the experimental scheme! This V-2 Looks great in the display case! Enjoy! I dont think we see many V-2's in this forum. Let me know what you think of it! -

A little something I finished earlier this Fall, but struggled with since Spring of 2014. Lost interest for awhile, then ran into many problems during the paint phase. Basic kit is the ancient FROG double offering of the Spit XIV with V-1 and the special 'double stand' to display them. The Buzz was somewhat heavily modified, as what FROG offered did not match drawings of the production/armed V-1's (more the unarmed prototypes) and had some shape errors especially around the pulse jet. The Spittie was not modified much other than scratching up a pit (populated with an Airfix Johnnie) with a vac'd canopy replacement, rescribing the entire airframe, and substituting the molded exhausts for a donated spare set from I believe a newer Airfix Spitfire XIX. Paints for both were Vallejo throughout. And with a little bit of prop action haha The biggest struggles were with paint and the decals. The Spit was painted THREE TIMES. First time I used the color call-outs that Vallejo gave with their 16-bottle RAF set....these, aside from the Dark Green and Sky, were dismally inaccurate. I'm mostly satisfied with my final mix of Ocean Grey, but still don't think it is 'correct'. The kit decals were a chore to use this time, unlike with a FROG Javelin I built a few years ago, and I did end up having to create masks to spray the Sky codes on the fuselage as the first one piece code/roundel/code decal I tried to apply strenuously objected to working whatsoever though I did manage to save the actual roundel. By the time I got to weathering, I had just about reached my wits end and only wanted it to be over, so stuck with a simple wing root chipping exercise and an oil wash/filter session. While most certainly not a very accurate rendition of a Spitfire, IMHO it still looks good and has the cachet of being a good old nostalgia build. Not completely unhappy with the outcome, but not overjoyed either. Cheers, and Happy Holidays! Erik the H in sunny Florida- 26 replies

Hi there, One you don't see made up very often. Was mooching round a local Hobbycraft the other day and saw this one on the shelf for not too much money. It's a great little kit, not many parts to deal with and builds up very quickly. Anyway, enough talking; Used Model Air RLM76 Acrylic and WEM RLM70 Enamel. Humbrol 67 for the trailer.
