Hey Rhinosd,

That's Heinz Bar's -262! I am preparing to build it, too! What kit is it?

The Bf-109, let me encourage you to enter it in October's Model Of The Month. Who's plane, Gielsa sounds familiar?

The Spitfire, is that overspray all over the windscreen and cowl?

Your models appear to favor clean, lightly used. Nice to see.

Looking forward to more of your work.

Hi Rian!

I also like that Bf 109 in Mediterranean theatre markings and the P39Q looks great too. The Me262 is well done, the red markings are giving a good contrast to the grey pattern. The Spit's cockpit looks busy (aftermarket?) and the bare metal finish of the P-51 is well done...

... I think you've just passed the Armorama Entry Test with success! :-)

Hope to see more soon!

Don't trust Fred when he says that! He is the specialist of WOAOW!

Thanks for the kind words.

The 262 is the Tamiya kit with the kit decals. I chose to go with the 74/75/76 scheme rather than the more popular late war camouflage colors that everyone does.

The Bf-109 is an F4/Z Trop from 6.Jg3. Based at Castel Benito (Libya) in April 1942. The pilot was Unteroffizier Franz Schwa

The Spitfire is the Tamiya Mk. V kit with markings for NX-X flown by P.O. Scheidhauer. That looks like dust in the photo, not overspray. Here's another shot:

Hi Rian, welcome to Armorama and the aircraft forum.
Some loverly models you have there I particularly like the Spitfire (others here won't be surprised) "you just can't have to many Spitfires"
As Quinten says you really must enter one in next months MOM, model of the Month. Check out the current voting thread for September and do vote if you want. It is not a competition but more a way to get more models into the Gallery. You can see previous MOMs HERE
Looking forward to seeing more of your work, we do like to have regular updates with pictures
Again welcome.

Hi Rian

Great to have you with us and thanks for sharing your builds!

The other guys have already highlighted some of the nice points in your pics, but the "cable straps" on the u/c legs on the Bf 109 caught my eye, as did the neat exhaust staining on the P-39. Nice work and I hope you'll show us more soon.

All the best

Rowan
