Great Peter, that really makes it even easier for me to choose a scheme for my Ta 183 I had decided that I would do it in a NMF, but Rowan told me the wings and things were plywood covered. so back to the drawing board. I quite like the scheme on the top left pick, I think I might do something like that?
Again great stuff Peter.
Did I tell you I now have 3.....yes 3 Ta 183's or should it be :-) I have never had 3 of any model before and I don't do "what if"...........apparently
Mal...............shaking head

Hi Mal!
If you have too much "Huckebeins" in your stash I know someone who would be pleased to have one! :-)

Yeah, Rowan did mention that but I have sort of made up my mind..........................or not.................well maybe..................er.............................sod it I'm doing a complicated 3-4 colour splinter scheme with mottle tail and fuselage. I will start painting in about 3 years at the current rate of dallying

Relax Mal...
Follow the watch very closely... you're feeling sleepy.... Sooooo sleepy... Luft '46 is GOOD, VERY GOOD.... and when I snap my finger you'll begin to build a Ta 183 with a natural metal fuselage and painted wings...
SNAP!
All the best
Rowan

Wow, last night I dreamt that I was building and painting my Ta 183. When I woke up this morning I felt like I hadn't been asleep at all. I went downstairs and made myself a cup of coffee and staggered back upstairs to my PC (to continue the tutorial on CAD ) for those that don't know my PC is in my modelling room. There, sitting in my photography area, was a completed Ta 183. Oddly both sets of batteries for my camera are discharged, but there are no pics on either of my flash cards.
This is truly amazing, if a bit worrying, if I can build a model overnight I can actually finish my stash :-) Mind you it might soon be a case of
Mal..............................still hearing voices

Hi Mal...
don't worry...its just initial side effects from journeying to the weird side.
A stiff drink and you'll be fine....
