Jan Polc Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Dear gentlemen - Bf 109K - K-6 was K-4 version with underwing MK 108 cannons - this one was planned only, never flew, K-14 was fitted with four blade propeller, two build, one for sure flying, but crashed during its way to Geschwader. At the moment of release there will be an article published on www.modelarovo.cz, also in English version. To the twin engined aircraft we are working on - it is DH 88 Comet. In four various boxes. We are very sorry that we did not fulfill a lot of personal wishes. :-) Next time... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Polc Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 MikroMir is 1/48 scale, isn´t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripod Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 A new 1/72 DH88 will certainly fulfil some of my wishes, despite my small stash of Airfix, Frog/Novo and Kellogg's examples. And I haven't made a model of G-ADEF yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Ranger Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I already have the exquisite SBS kit, but another DH 88 won't be an inconvenience! Mikro-Mir kits are stocked by Hobby Terra (https://hobbyterra.com/index.php), an excellent on-line vendor for hard-to-find stuff. I've placed 5 orders with them now and nary an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Polc Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Dear gentlemen, some more info about DH - 88 can be found in the link.

Smudge Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Brilliant. I will have two DH.88 Comets (at least), and looking forward to the 109K's The photo's of the Comet look great, especially the detail in the cockpit. What a nice surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Nice, I have an Airfix one with a resin detail kit to do G-ACSS in one of her later iterations, grey with blue trim, it'd be nice to be able to do her in her best known party frock too.

Rabbit Leader Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I reckon you’ll get many ‘triple’ orders now that you’ve included all three popular race schemes. Might save on postage too!! Cheers.. Dave 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi Jan, good choice of subject. I'd imagine as your masters are finished and Mikro-Mir is still in CAD then you must have started before them. I wish you luck with this one!

Jan Polc Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Gentlemen, I have a question to all of you - working on DH-88, I have got info from UK, that correctly imatriculation on Green and Red racer was Silver, not White. Can you help me with this? Also - in some references there is stated that Green racer had also stylised comet (line) on the fuselage, in Silver. On my poor quality photos is not visible. And - what was the colour of prototype E.19? My source says it was Pale Green. For your comments or PM BIG thank you and enjoy the weekend, f*cking short as usually... :-) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Polc Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 I would like to thank to all of you who helped me with DH 88 imatrikulation. A lot of things has to be changed before decals are printed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Polc Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Dear gentlemen, we have studied materials we have got from you. All temporary materials and files from Shuttleworth are talking about Silver imatriculation on two Comets, only Black Magic had Gold ones. So we changed our camouflage schemes for the "MacRobertson Air Race" boxing. Attached is the artwork, so you can see it and all your comments are welcomed. NOTE: Restored Grosvenor House has imatriculation in White, but it is written in Shuttleworth files that "it was decided to change the colour from original Silver to White".
