1/18 scale Luftwaffe

[scalawag]

Hi ALPHA,

The planes I have are plastic not die cast, so no weight problems. They would be astonishingly heavy if they where die cast. No mounting holes in them either, I guess because any stand would have to be XXXL to be stable whilst holding one.

Here is a pic with a 1/16 Tiger to give an idea of scale

Gives a good idea why Tankers back then feared aircraft

i hate bf109 g's in WT

Makes interesting comparisons from the 'Gustavs' to the Stukas. Those are nice aircraft mate, seems to complete the look of any tank having the correct air support nearby

If I had to choose..I prefer Spitfires as well... I like the later model though the XIV...

Ah ha, one of the Photo Recon versions of the Spitfire, Mk IX I think A legitimately pink wartime plane

Apparently the pink worked really well at dawn or dusk on photo recon runs.

I like the Mk XIV too but..... no merlin, griffin powered, deal breaker for me I think my favourite is the Mk I.

A little update

I was getting withdrawals from figure painting, and couldn't resist the Tamiya 1/16 Luftwaffe Ace fighter pilot So I have been working on this one for the last couple of days, and just finished it.

Good Morning,
Great job, Paul! He looks very smug *chuckles*

Thanks Painless,

He does look a bit smug doesn't he . I am pleased with the end result from this kit . It is a great kit to put together and paint, quite straight forward and no nasty surprises. It also comes with an alternative head without a cap, which looks suspiciously like Adolf Galland but I preferred this one. Looks better with the cap I think.
