Well first off a pic of the Bf109E-1, she's ready to fight judt needing some rust on the exhausts and some powderstains on the guns.

Now the base is set up to be movable, i still have a lot of paint ing to do in this area. The aircraft are mounted on 5mm clear pipe, and made to be removable for moves and the like. SO tell me what ya think.stug

The chase is on!!!!!

enjoy guys......comments are welcome and appreciated!!! stug

:-) Stug, this is a wonderful idea. My only criticism is that shouldn't the Spit be chasing the 109?
Mal

First the Spit should pull up then do a barrel roll and dive down. As the 109 is confused the Spit should pull hard right and get behind him. Then put him in the sights and light him up like a christmas tree! Very nice work

The 109 could just do a split-s and run away



nice 109 btw

Very nice work, looks great, also love the very realistic portrayal of 109 beating up on helpless spit, nice

Yeah but then the other 109 pilots would call the 109 a Sissy! And Wouldnt let the 109 play 109 Games.. No wait thats rudolph..

Maybe the Spit's just taking the 109 home for a cup of tea while they watch the cricket... (life is strange in Porkyland!)

Looking good

All the best

Stug:

Clever idea. Neat idea for the base---really great theme here.

Just a thought,----for those who don't follow modeling/WWII history etc, a simple nameplate i.e. "Battle of Britain 1940" applied to the base would be a helpful touch.

Nice work here Stug---Congrats on completing your campaign project! (Now you need to get the Campaign T-shirt;)



Steve

Stug...........

Good work mate...I think I would have preferred the spitfire BEHIND the Bf109...lol
Have you seen the advert for "prop-blur"? may help you out on this mate.
PROP-BLUR

Looks good so far Steve.... Are you gonna do cotton balls for clouds??? #:-)

Nice build and paintjob Stug! A bit under-weathered for my own personnal liking, but Im not an aircraft person anyway. I really love the dog-fight scenario. This should look really cool when finished. Are you going to paint terrain or model it? Maybe if the fighters were skimming some tree-tops it would be easier to hide the clear stands! Desert-fox´s suggestion of the prop-blurs would add a great realism to this effect as well! looking forward to seeing this finished up!

Stug this looked awesome, and the BF109 chasing the Spit, it looked real, I like it a lot! Good work.

Well I thanks y'all for the comments. The original idea for the base was a painted sky behind them but I likr the map idea as well. Wonder what will end up there???? Martin if i can find those Propblur things i might look into it but it is getting a little late in game to be ordering stuff for the dio, sorry. stug

Hi steve
The Dio is coming along real good keep up the good work

They look fantastic. What a neat way to display them. That's thinking outside the "box" for sure. Well done

I like the realism behind the spit being defeated ...
you should obliterate the fuselage of the spit, as if the 109 was shooting at that bloody brit.

Happy world .. no brits (just a joke)

Great job Steve, I can't wait to see the finished background.

Nice Job Stug , I like Your Dio concept , is Spit Pilot could maked , situation is very dramatic !

Hard and wonderfull work , and You just show us how it was in that time "We live in air , but die in fire "

Regards
