Hi all...

While I now take great pleasure in doing the Luft 46 Colour profiles and have just submitted Part 5 with Part 6 almost ready to go, I just wondered if they are of some use to any of us?

Has anyone found them useful for reference for potential schemes for what-if projects?

Just wondered....lol

Cheers

hi Peter,
I am a retired aircraft modeler but I like them and collect all Luft46 profiles..i think it takes interest of many ppl.
Btw,good to hear from you.
Stay safe my friend

Well, Peter, as you know, I'm collecting them. & of course I have a bit of a leg up on most of our members, at least on the first set.
My only problem is the scarcity/cost of kits to which I can apply this Fantastic artwork(Though i'm quite afraid my poor attempts would fall far short of doing your profiles justice...).
Rest assured, however, they are greatly appreciated. And they will be put to use in the future, as will many resources I've collected over the years.

Keep it up, Master!

Rest assured Peter they are very useful. Even though, as you know, I don't model luft 46 I have aquired a Ta 183. Because this will be the only model of this aircraft that I will have I want it to have a very interesting finish. Although I haven't yet decided what that finish will be, your profiles have certainly got me thinking. Infact, if the truth be known, I actually have 2 Ta 183s (got a real bargin, but intend to sell one on ebay?) I am tempted to build both models myself so I can try out different schemes, one of which might be NMF :-) This is all your fault Peter :-)

I also have 2 Ta-183's...well, they're on order anyway :-)
I'm going to build and paint one of them in a WWI scheme for $hi%$ and giggles...

For the second one though, I plan to faithfully follow a Luft 46 scheme. So yes! I find them to be really helpful...that, and easy on the eyes too!

So keep em coming!

It would probably be a nice idea to post something about this on the What-If forum as they would probably enjoy seeing these very much.

Excellent work Peter as always!

I like them because they are excellent insperation for dooing camo on anything! The only problem is that i really want to do one of the bombers but i can not find models for any of them.
But still, very cool.

cheers

I LOVE your profiles! The Luftwaffe, I think, doesn't get enough recognition for the huge advances it made in the aeronautical industry. My main interest in aircraft is Luftwaffe planes, and I always love reading your profiles. Definetly keep up the good work!! But yes, I agree with Phillip, Ive found that I have a hard time finding kits. If anyone knows where to find them, please let me know!

Hi Jared



If you mean injection kits, then you are right, there are not too many out there especially as Revell have ceased making their excellent Luft 46 range. But you might find a few still on shelves somewhere.

However, if you don't mind resin kits there are quite an extensive range from various manufacturers available.
Resin tend to be expensive due to the short run/limited numbers.
You can check Planet, A&V, RS Models, Unicraft amongst others for resin. Special Hobby and Dragon for injection. All are available most of the time from Hannants in UK or Squadron in the USA.

Also if you look on www.Luft46.com you'll find an extensive kit list.

Hope it helps.

Cheers
Peter
