Thank you, Old Wombat and NARSES2, for the nice words and for following along!

[NARSES2]

Thankyou for putting your builds here 

[Librarian]

A stunning achievement all round, very inspirational too. Sci-Fi allows such a wonderful scope for the imagination. Thanks for sharing .

My favourite is the ringed camo.

[MichelC]

NARSES2, thanks for giving me a place to put them!

Librarian, thanks a lot. That camo is courtesy of Peter Allen (no, not THAT Peter Allen, please don't post that pic again! LOL) as far as the inspiration is concerned and straight out of Luft 46.

Wow...how did this one get even better ? Great job. Love how realistic it looks.

[zenrat]

Brilliant.
Well done.

What's next then?

[Sticky Fingers]

Flabber now most definitely gasted.


All that is missing:



Congrats, Michel . Very cool result. I can only hope my Falke will turn out this nice. One day.

[MichelC]

Thanks, Sticky Fingers! 

That comic book yours?  Lucky you! Got none of them Japanese Ma.K comics on my bookshelf.

Fantastic work again Michel.      Yet another modelling masterclass!

Already looking forward to your next project.

It's from this one:

After the flag pops out of the cockpit (pilot long gone after the crash) the Kröte shoots the Falke to bits.
No sense of humour, those pesky Strahl people.

Thank you, my friend!

Thanks for the link. I always wondered if those were worth the money. Especially considering that my Japanese vocabulary includes sushi and Yamamoto and not much else. What say you?

All of those books are i.m.o. worth their money. That said, I bought most of them second hand
But the one I linked to is great for diorama inspiration and gives you a "feel" for how the suits might move, and the modelling books, especially the first one is great for understanding how Kow works, and that's only from the photo's, as my Japanese vocabulair only includes sayonara, plamo and moshi-moshi. And now sushi and yamamoto. The other books are just plain eye candy 

By the way: if I recall correctly, on the maschinenkrueger forum you can find translations for some of the more well known books and articles.

Thank you, my friend. A personal recommendation is worth a lot more than any reviews, ads and descriptions. I think I will invest in some of this stuff in the future. I like books and comics anyway.

True about the translation on the maschinenkrueger site, I remember having seen it at one time.

Thanks again for your input!

I need some help from you guys with the following: I'm looking for pic of a historical map of Africa, preferably the entire continent, showing the territories controlled by the Axis and the Allies. The exact date doesn't matter, any time during the conflict.

I've been googling but astonishingly enough there's very little to be found.

Yes, this has something to do with the Falke's build!
