Long ago and far away, a young modeller did take unto his Badger 200 the task of painting his 1/24 MPC Bf-109E...

...now some 25 years hence, did he find these photos, which he did put unto a scanner.





Years ago in preparation to move across country, this beast was given to friend and frequent opponent of Avalon Hill's AIR FORCE. Farewell, Emil

Hi Fred!

Thanks for sharing these "vintage" pics! Although your "Messer" seems to be up to date!
The second picture is a little be dark... we are lucky to have these digital cameras today! They are a great part of the modelers world now!
Your post make me want to search for those pics a friend of mine made of my Matchbox "Zero". It was 20 years ago! If I find the pics, I'll post them here...

Hi Jean-Luc,

I appreciate your compliments.

These pix are scans of whatever I was using before I got a 35mm camera. Probably some Kodac instamatic. Yep, digital cameras are great--how'd we ever get along without them

Great job on the SMER Dr.I

Hi Fred!

Your Hien is not bad too!

Actually, I found it very difficult to vote for this month's MOM. There are a lot of great models! I'm ashamed I didn't gave some entrants points! It's always cruel to have to make a decision...
