wow, that is quite a collection.
I guess if you are going to do luftwaffe '46, you might as well do it right!

Wow.
Jerome I am honoured.
The Victoria Tail Fw is one of my favourites and a rare kit too.
You have done a fantastic job on the camo.
Hell of a lot of masking, even when I was drawing the profile , but to do it for real must have taken hours and hours!
Many many thanks.
Peter
Pity its not Cognac.

Yes Peter, le FW Victoria Tail is one of my favorite design too.
Masking is perhaps longer but people like me ,with no specific airbrush ´s talent can do something "acceptable" !
It is the Cape Hobby kit, molded by Anigrand a think. After all Unicraft, AV Model and Planet´s kits, one of the best resin a have seeing !
I live in Germany now, between Bremen , Hamburg and Luneburg....than mean in our strange Luft46 ´s world, between Fock Wulf, Blohm und Voss and Sänger
I build currently , with difficulty, the small project P14 of Skoda-Kauda

Hi Jerome
I love the colour pics, its very satisfying for me to see the schemes turn out so well. But that's down to your hard work and skill.
I'd love to see more colour examples of your work please.
It gives me much encouragement to do more.....many more .
A British set next, then another German volume.
Many thanks and very best regards

Hello Guys
As I have stated several Times I am no fan of Luftwaffe 46 .. but I am a big fan of German language.
First things first: very nice Models. Jérôme!!! Also like that you think in German to write English
but as you both ( Jérôme & J-L) speak German what does this darn "Luft 46" crap mean .... it bears a certain irony as it is nothing (or only slightly) more that air but the German Airforce was (and is) named Luftwaffe which can be abbreviated LW or Lw soo pleeeeeeeeeease do NOT use this Air46 stuff ... bitte!
greetings from Ettlingen
Steffen

Another great model, Jerome! Looks excellent in colour.
Peter, I know I have mentioned this before, but maybe it could be an idea to make one big PDF file with all your work. Fx. one file for the German stuff, one for the British stuff, one for Japanese etc.
I really want to make unusual camouflage, markings etc. for my fictional luftwaffe '46 fighters, bombers......
Your work is very inspiring when it comes to Luftwaffe '46 models.
Looking forward to see the next batch of profiles.

Thank again Peter, i will continue to post more colour example on this post.... but just for one reason : to push you to continue your nice work with profile (your models are very nice too)
Vielen Dank Stephen, i ´m agree with you tu use the real term but i a affraid that it´s to late now...this wrong term (luft46) is used since a long time to definised this part of our modelling hobby and it will hard now to make some internet research for exemple with LW46 !!!
But i totally understand your reaction
One little one more to have more colour in our grey world
The Blohm und Voss BV208 Planet Resin 1/72

Hello,
Has you decide, the next one will be the BV222 Zwilling.
I have a very strange modelling curse, i have always buy some huge Revell kit twice
(bv222, Ju390, BV194,BV138, Do335 )
On a other side, i pay for that the same price that for a rare, small, resin kit of Planet or Unicraft
It was a funny kit to build, don´t forget if you want to buy one to insert some long piece of aluminium for example throw all the wing to improve the solidity
Wing are removable, it´s easy ,when a decide to live in my living room !!!!!
I have put some red light (no Roxanne ) with battery inside but it´s hard to see on the picture.

Thank you very much for the inspiring pictures. And thanks for the advice I wish I thought of that when I built my first Bv222 but I will include the rod in my conversion. Again many thanks for the pictures
