Hi fellow Luftwaffe maniacs

I just visited Start Verlags website and found a new LiF special announced:

LiF Spezial - Bf 109 im Einsatz, Teil 1

no details available yet, but I am sure they will follow soon.

BTW U-Boot im Focus 4 will be shipped soon .. just in case you like an occasional look beyond your own nose

cheers

Hi Steffen

It looks really tasty - I'll definitely have to hunt down a copy. I think the link to the sample should be working again (maybe they changed the url at their end).

All the best

Thanks for the update, Steffen.

I just finished the Bf 109 special part 1. Excellent little book. Great inspiration on what to build and how much - or little - weathering to apply to the Bf 109. Especially the early versions.

Looking forward to #15 and part 2 of the Bf 109 series

Hi All

LiF 15 should be out today .. hope to get my copy by the weekend.

Here is an extract

I am especially keen on the Fw 190 F-8 by Hptm. Gläser .... (Luckily with profile ... probably something for one of my kits)

all the best

Hi Luftwaffe fanatics

the new Luftwaffe im Fokus (ed.15) is another piece of art ..

I especially like the Focke Wulf Fw 190 F-3 of Hptm. Gläser... (not as advertized a F-8)

Maybe I'll try to mix the wings and fuselages on the eduard models ... I think about glueing the F-8 wing on the A-5 fuselage to get that F-3 ... IIRC I have a spare A-8 wing in one of the Boxes (maybe A-8/R2 ?) so the F-8 fuselage is not wasted.

all the best
