Maybe of interest for @JOCKNEY: https://www.modellboard.net/index.php?topic=63884.0

It's a link to a German modelling forum showing a build which includes a lot of corrections and some less known photos of the Bv 238. The modeller shares a lot of original German documents he could copy in the US in the past for a lot of aircraft types so his posts are a real treasure trove for any Luftwaffe modeller.

 

Cheers

Thank you so much Markus, having seen the detail that modeller has managed, not to mention the 4.5 cm missing in the middle of the fuselage I'm beginning to have second thoughts about building mine ! 

 

Perhaps I've bitten off more than I can chew with this build in a GB

But isn't that part of the fun, testing your limits a bit? 

 

Anyhow, it's not that I (can only speak for myself :lol:) would think any less of you if you don't finish her (that's what the KUTA-GBs are for, right :whistle:).

@PhantomBigStu is building his "Red Baron" project featuring a historic airplane that is actually parked about five miles from my house.

 

The F-106A 56-0459 was part of the "Project Firewall" air speed record team in December 1959... and is now part of the McChord Air Museum's collection.

 

I didn't want to hijack his build thread, so I am going to post some of the reference shots I have taken around and under 56-0459  -- and even in the cockpit (which is displayed inside the museum).

I realize there is plenty of generic F-106 photos available with any easy search (I've photographed 6 different ones myself), but these are my pics of the actual airframe Stu is building so hopefully they'll have extra potential as reference. 

 

 

Warning: Photo Heavy  --- Seriously, I am not kidding!
