Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Scheme 1... with the Stuka snake!

I really did consider that, Moritz, but thought it may look a wee bit too 'Cheesy' (don't know whether that translates  :huh:). Not completely discounted it, though  :wacko:

Did I mention that whatever scheme it wears, it will be a 'Schlacht' unit !

What would be an interesting challenge (and one I thought of doing from time to time), would be to do it up in a basically "normal" camo scheme, and then give it the late war slapped-on camo look.

But maybe cheesy is okay.  I mean, there's so much luft' stuff out there, some cheese would really stand out. :cheers:

Got a bit done.... little bit of filler, not too bad.

To quote Dean Martin, "Let it Snow".....!

I picked up the two seater at Huddersfield, looks like a lovely kit
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Great thing about this kit - and the Tamiya MkI Spits & Mustangs - is you get a spare canopy to use as a mask   :party:! So here's the Dornier all filled, sanded, polished and the windshield masked.... Oh yes, the Eduard belts went on a treat for once, didn't put-up a fight.









So along with a R.W. Mirage, and the AJ, it's off to the paint-shed next week for some vigourous pre-shading.

This looks interesting Ian, the Do-335 is one of my favorite aircraft, got five of them, they're some of the very few German aircraft I have in the stash.

Looks great so far.  I'd say scheme 3.  For some reason, theater stripes and winter camo just sound right today. :thumbsup:

The Arrow is one of my favorites also. Do the winter scheme :wub: :thumbsup:

No pics this afternoon because:-

ONE - I didn't take any

and

TWO - I'm at work and even if I had taken any, I can't access Photobucket from our PC's in work :angry:

Anyhoos, just a quick update. Had an hour or so yesterday to m'self so ran to the paint shed and pre-shaded this and the Mirage. Then dived into the paint stash to check that I had the RLM81 & 83 (late war olive grun and and Leichtgrun) that it needs..... short answer, no I haven't..... So I've mixed the 81 from Tamiya JN Green and a Olive Green, the Leichtgrun from Tamiya Deep Green and Sky.

More soon...... probably with pics !
