I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Bringing the Spanish stuff to Telford?  If so I'll bring my CASA 2.217 (or whatever it's called!).

Been reading your musings on the Ju 390 and decided to look the Planet kit up. Didn't realise they did one, took one look at the price and  :o  Mind you it's a lot of resin

So what's your theme for all this German stuff you're currently hoarding, Lee?

Assuming there's going to be a theme, of course.

A  proportion of the material seems to be on the books of 1426 flight RAF;  the so-called "Rafwaffe".  Others are very subtle whiffs in other directions.  I like them!

Should have been more precise with my question - I was referring to the recent post-Telford purchases/ideas.

Pre-Telford it was as Rafwaffe and Spanish Air Force.

Pretty much as it's been all year, largely either captured Luftwaffe (and I seem to be falling into a Blohm und Voss mini theme with quite a few) or wearing alternate markings, usually Czech or Spanish, but I'm tempted with a few others, such as Iran or Yugoslavia.

The He 112s are definitely part of the alternate scheme, as I'm working my way through the countries that looked at obtaining them, albeit coloured by my anti-nazi collaborators policy. The list stands at a trio of Yugoslav, a pair of Netherlands (both home and DEI), Finland post war (no Swastikas natch) and really left field Iran, Brazil and Chile.  The last three did buy German aircraft pre war, so He 112s are quite plausible.

Mention of Iran reminds that I've a planned Ju 86K in their markings and quite possibly either Heinkel He 51 or Arado Ar 68s.

There's also a bunch of R/W Spanish He 111s I've plans for (those micey met flight ones for a start).  Spain is an interesting and easy area to mine.

And speaking of the RAFwaffe, I'm looking at some really odd things.  That Squadron Hanebu III I have tucked away and the Takom Sanger Silbervogel is on order are just two.  I've looked at a few other things but I'll reveal them if and when I get them.

You'll run out of 'Air Min' numbers at this rate.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Admittedly, my memory is absolutely awful, but if above is a requirement, then all the Scandinavian countries did buy German aircraft pre war.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!
