Hi All,

I've just joined and here is my first entry:

Kit is 1.72 scale Revell of Germany. Aircraft painted with Polly Scale colors. British azure blue, blue, and aluminum on bottom of airplane. Represents late war aircraft of 56th fighter group, 63 fighter squadron flying in April and May of 1945. Kit went together well, with exception of wings attaching to fuselage, to large a gap for accuracy. Decals went on easily and cockpit detail is average.






Here is my second, a Bf-109: Messerschmitt

Here is a comparison of the models, you may be able to tell the difference in size of these opponents.

I would rather be flying the jug, more protection incase of an accident. I like the blue camo scheme. Very catchy and differant. Great job!

Hi Russel!

Yes the camouflage of the P-47 is unusual... you get some bonus points for originality from me!

Strange, I have built the same kit, with no fit problems at all. The wings fitted flawlessly. Your build looks great. I remember my model being the D-model. I have M-version as well, bought it to get one national insignia which I messed up in the first kit.

Are you using an airbrush? That blue looks like it's airbrushed on. Nice variation and transitions.
