Nice cards!
Rich
Thanks Mike.
They could be very useful to me in the future scenarios.

Spanish Civil War Me-109 - Condor Legion
These are the first Scotia Grendel 1/200 planes that I've painted.
They don't have as much detail as AIM miniatures, but they're cheap and their lines are very close to the original.
My Spanish Civil War needed them and so they came. I'm quite impressed with them. For £1.5 one cannot as for more.
The second batch I bought came with some problems and Costumer Service wasn't that good. It's my well known bad luck...
I'm going to paint the FW-190 and then I'll decide if I forgive them...
My I-16's are aching for a fight...
How i never see this thread before?!?! A 109 from Japan, in winter cammos, desert, BoB.... Fantastic!!
Thanks
Nick

They look like ME-109`s to me! Great job!
Rich
Here we go with Shapeways Bf 109 F 1/200 trop (without the proper filter, ouch...), that could be used as G-2 version as well. I made 3 of them for the Med theatre and 3 others are in the works for the Eastern Front. They were printed in WSF, as you can see thanks to my good digital camera However, from a table top distance they are perfect.
All of them are historical schemes of JG 53 based in Africa. They will serve as opponents to my Skalski Circus (in the works...)

These are beautiful, Andy. I love the colour and the markings. Well done.
Andy
They are very nice! Who needs a dust filter on those beauties!Whose decals did you use?
Rich
Another superb combination Andrzej! Now to some desert Spits..
Thanks!
@Richard: There was a generic left over German 1/200 markings sheet plus a special one I bought for Bf 110 with shark mouths (I used them before) and the "spads" (used now). I have a really hard time to recall the seller... If that was not Doms Decals, that must have been an ebay supplier...They are pretty good ones (majority of them survives acrylic varnish...)
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Andrzej, at your mention of it, I had to look Skalski Circus. It sounds a pretty interesting squadron and an accomplished commanding officer. I look forward to seeing the painted product.
Another great rote of aircraft Andy.
You are certainly working hard on all these new models.
I also think the colours are superb.
Rob.

That is perfect as is, Mike
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
They look very nice, both the squadron and the card.
So the next Con mission is "Afrikakorps"? Nice work
Dear Daniel,
African theatre was always of my interest. Biplanes, top fighters, different missions and - above all - eggs fried on hot tanks' armour ( I love eggs:P
So - yes, we will fight in Africa.
But since Honza, Jakub and you presented that impressive EF map/mat (I printed it today on vinyl and the printer assistant got really mad about it!), my second project is EF and "white" planes. I have started colecting special planes for that, including Bf 109F/G, FW 190A, Airacobras, HS 129s. The winter is coming. This winter you shall see my growing air forces of the Eastern Front
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
A nice 150% Rotte of Messerschmitts, Andrzej!
Desert warfare is an good option for the next Summer Con.
I can add 2x 109, 1 Spit and 1 Hurry.
Voilà le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Putting decals on my Hurricanes, I tried to wedge in my two extra wingers for Molders:
I was trying to get the colour balance right on the Hurry decals, so these weren't as good as my first attempt with Olt Fiel's plane.
So, the "Pik As" now have a Schwarm, or two Rotten for attacks on Britain.

Good work there Mike, and you also reminded me that with my thoughts firmly set on Malta and its needs, I still have some MEs to re badge for BoB.

Pretty good planes again Mike!! "Vati" Mölders was needing some wingmen.
Thanks

I painted these JG-54 Messerschmitts for my Lake Ladoga (Siege of Leningrad) game I ran this weekend at Marscon. I ordered Bf-109E models from AIM and converted two of them into Bf-109Fs (see my post here for details on how I accomplished that)
I am quite pleased with the decal work on Yellow 9, flown by Hans-Ekkehard Bob. I created the squiggle mark by piecing together two parts of a zero with one part of a 9. I modeled the plane on the aircraft illustration shown here (it is the first plane shown).
These two picture shows the comparison between the Bf-109F "Yellow 9" and the Bf-109E flown by Hans Philipp. I am very pleased with how the paint mixing coloring came out on the 109E wings.
This picture show the Bf-109F -- also flown by Hans Philipp. I created the chevron and bars decals by piecing together the black border stripe of a Zvezda decal sheet.
Nice job Dave.
That decaling is excellent.
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Here comes the second Rotte of Friedrichs/Early Gustavs [G-2] (the models may mimic both types) of mine. Besides the desert schemes of JG 53, now I have completed three generic ones, 2 grays suitable for Channel dogfights and all three ready for the Eastern Front. All of them were painted with original RLM 74/75/76 colours, a rather typical scheme of the type and era. Then a washable (thinned) white was airbrushed over the "blue 3" leaving some underneath camo design visible.
The models are Shapeways WSF, so in the eye of a digital camera you can see a grainy surface, but I can assure you, on the table they look quite fine.
I am especially pleased with the snowy blue 3, which turned out IMHO.
They all are part of the force made especially for Prague Con 2015
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
And very fine they look Andy.
All these new paint jobs makes me realize that I have been playing around with the Fleet too long and need to get back to some more aircraft.
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Wonderful, Me-109G's, Andy.
I can't give you any more REP...
Wonderfull work Andrzej and David. Rep should be on its way!
Andy having seen Sparky's ME's up close and personal I can only admire the time and effort spent painting and adding decals to what really are very small models. They look superb. I'm only sorry I can't be there to fly with or against them in Prague this year.
See you on the Dark Side......
Andy
Top marks for those! Very well done!
Rich
Superb, and in the type of colour scheme which I like best.
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Those Bf-109s are FANTASTIC!
Pipped at the post Carlo.
i have one more Me to paint for North Africa, and guess who it will be?
Very nice job, and thanks for the colour scheme pictures.
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Nice job Carlos! That's excellent.
AIM 1/200 Bf-109E's
Excellent 109's.
Mischa, those AIR200 Me-109's are pretty good! Thanks for pointing them to me.
No problem here is what I ordered and the site I used. http://www.lastsquare.com/zen-cart/i...4heoih9kc4sm33
Thanks, Mischa. Where's the thread with the painted Avengers and Zeroes?
You might want to try AIM's models. They're much better than AIR200.
If you send me the pictures of those insignia and the sizes you want I should be able to knock you out some decals for them John.
Rob.
