No, thank you, it's just budget season and we have a lot of unknowns that are forcing meeting/workshop adjustments and they are piling up now, not to mention a state legislature that .... well, best left unsaid.Purplethistle wrote:It can't be helped John, I hope it's nothing major that can't be worked out.jRatz wrote:Interesting story, probably where the idea for the cover came from.
Regardless, I'm going to have to drop out. In the last 2 days my May calendar has been ravaged. I'm sorry about that but all I'd do is phone in a DNF.

15mm x 72 = 1080. I have 1050 which = 14.6mm, and 1150 =16mm.Purplethistle wrote:Good on ye Fred, it's just two wing decals I need for a Zero I've just measured the supplied ones and they are 15mm.fredk wrote:I have some H with white surrounds which I can let you have.....but....they are on a master sheet.

Thanks for the offer anyway.
They range from [real size] 650mm to 1350 [for 1/72]
If either of these sizes suit your requirement PM me an address and sya which ones. If I get your addy tonite I can get them into the post tonite and you might have them by the weekend
Are you sure thats all you need?

Cheers PT; I've got a blitz in stock now so will get cracking as soon as I've peeled several bits of PE odd my fingers from my ongoing French Danton!
PS any idea as to the other aircraft ID?

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

I recognise the green one, but no idea what it's called. I think it's possibly Russian or Polish.

I had a bit of a brainwave this morning - would this book/aircraft be suitable?
I ask because I have been thinking of doing ML407 as a Tr.9 for a long time (I've already built her as a single-seater), and I happen to have a kit sitting waiting to be built.
I might have left myself too little time to do it, mind, but it might be worth a bash.

I had just assumed that it was a 109G, but had it been me doing the painting, I would have made the distinctive spinner boss more bulbous.iggie wrote:Cheers PT; I've got a blitz in stock now so will get cracking as soon as I've peeled several bits of PE odd my fingers from my ongoing French Danton!

I have a kit and a bundle of spare cockpit parts sitting in front of me. It's tempting....!

Right, I've just bid on a 510 on eBay.
Looking at the cover, the green planes appear to have red circular markings (hinomaru or similar?) but I can't make out the markings on the Blitz fuselage; the crosses suggest Condor Legion, and therefore black circles?
It'll be a couple of days at least before I can get started on either build but with luck I'll scrape in under the finishing tape!

The image for a Republican D510 is a bit off shade wise the upper surfaces should be green.
and I can edit the decal sheet from the ICM Heinkel to make the ones from the cover if you can find a way to print them off/

Cheers PT, I'll be fine with the decals; its about time I tried masking them!
Just to confirm them that the 510 should have green uppers and light blue undersides? Markings as illustrated....

From what I've seen on t'internet, the Republican D510s were either silver or in a green over light blue colour scheme very similar to that used by the Russians in '41. The pic I posted was the only one that showed the markings from all angles and not really representative of the actual colours.iggie wrote:Cheers PT, I'll be fine with the decals; its about time I tried masking them!
