Fatso Goering's Flying Circus

[CSMO]

This is a Three-Dimensional cartoon. Back during the Great War, the Red Baron's outfit painted their airplanes in guady colors, hence the name "von Richtofen's Flying Circus". Fast Forward to 1944, Herr Hermann decides to do old Manfred one better. He had JG54 repaint their planes in as gaudy a fashion as his beady little mind could dream up.

I was given two '60s vintage Lindberg FW.190D kits. I painted them in the German pattern for the the current tactical camouflage. For paint, I used the loudest colrs in the paint locker, combining them to clash in the most tasteless vcombinations that I could think of.

The base is scrap lumber with coat hanger wire. The base itself was inspired by the box art from an old Polish 1/72 glider kit. The caption was printed on my computer and glued to the base. This thing was too good to keep to myself, so I am sharing it with you today. Adios, Larry.

AARGH - that's painful to look at! - almost as good as a forcefield!!   Nice job, and kinda logical too...

You know that Goering took over Jagdgeschwader 1 in WWI after Manfred von Richthofen had commanded it?  Before he became mixed up in Politics, he was quite an accomplished flyer, scoring 22 victories over the Western Front and was highly decorated.

Yes, sir, I knew that. The Revell first issue 1/72 Fokker D.VII was Goering's all-white machine. I have one on my shelves. It was part of my thinking for the "backstory" for this build that the Fatman's monster ego drove him to try to outdo his former commanding officer. Adios, Larry.

Interesting idea - I like it and the base is good to
