Thanks Captain Canada!

Right now I am working on four models, they are:

Tamiya Do 335B-2
Monogram Me 262
Revell Lippisch Li P13a
Hasegawa Bf 109G-14 (1/48 scale)

The Tamiya and Hasegawa kits are excellent, very detailed and so far all parts fit very well. I have never built a Tamiya a/c model before and after building many old or limited run kits the Tamiya and Hasegawa models are a very welcome change of pace.

In order to speed up my production of finished models I am trying out a production line style of model building. I am painting cockpits, wheels, landing gear, propeller blades and wheel wells of several models at one time. I want to increase a/c production to at least 12 next year, at the same time build more hangers, airfield equipment, and figures.

Two more pics from last Friday...

Love the 262 with the bomber nose.....cool ! Would make a goos high-speed recon bird as well, eh ?

And I'd like to see a few pics with your fleet lined up proper, like on a ramp on a nice day, waiting to go flying !

Thanks Captain Canada and nev!

By next summer I might have a few other Ta 183s built and I intend to do a number of flightline pictures of Ta 183s getting ready for a mission. In some of my books I have seen some pictures of Me 262s that were lined up before a combat mission and that is the type of scene I am considering.

Before next summer I plan on building my Verlinden kits of Luftwaffe airfield carts and Preiser 1/48 scale Luftwaffe ground crew figures, these items will really help the look of my pictures.
