Gentlemen, your builds in this thread are simply great and it's a pleasure to congratulate you for them. No matter how good or bad the kit is, you manage to finish it.

It's been over 15 years since I last built a 109, but with this group build I think I might recover one of those old kits and re-finish them as Scott did.

Food for thought!

Have a nice weekend, guys.

Great work!!

Thank you for your kind words, Sall. I messed up so many things while rigging the kit that never thought I would manage to finish it.

Have a nice day.

Beautiful!

Thanks S.A.F. It's a lovely kit by RS, so kudos go to them as well.

Have a nice weekend.

This look so good and I am sure that you will do good job with Zlin

Thanks Nro.1. The Zlin is almost finished, but one thing is for sure: I'll never build another AMC resin kit in my life if that's possible. Crude, very crude. Almost reminded me of some resin kits being produced here in my country

But, it's nearly done, so I can relax a little bit

Hi No.1 and Profa,

sorry for the delay in answering but I just realised yesterday that my e-mail account is bouncing every alert message from the modeling forums I'm in.

Thank you so much for the images and the data, they're great and very useful for finishing the Ba.253. I'm still scratching most of the cockpit, since Roden forgot to add nothing but a seat, stick and rudder pedals. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks again, have a great weekend.

Javier

Hi guys,

Here are a few pictures from my Ar-65 in bulgarian Air Service colours. What a great kit from RS. Nice plastic and decals. I messed the rigging, some struts and almost melt the undercarriage when tightening the first. I fixed everything but the u/c. Too much of a complication. So you may forgive me for that.

Now, I have to finish that dreadful Zlin 226A Akrobat from AMC. May the gods give me strength

Have a nice Thursday, my friends.

Javier

Combat Warplanes / Öffag Ba.253 in yugoslav service

« on: September 30, 2011, 08:39:56 PM »

Hi guys

Wanted to ask if you happen to have any information on the Öffag D.IIIs used by the Royal Yugoslavian Air Force in the 1920s as un-armed trainers. I have an old Blue Rider decal sheet with 3 yugoslav aircrafts (2 fighters and one trainer) but no information at all, like if they took part in the balkan wars of 1919-20, for how long were they in service and in which units.

Any info would be really welcome, since the Roden decals are very, very brittle and off register and the Blue Rider ones give a choce to finish the kit.

Thanks in advance,

J.

Great looking build and nice plane - Hungarian flags really stand out on stabilisers
I have Re.2000 series I and III in stash, but not the Heja version...

Thank you for your kind words, Profa.

Only a couple of resin parts, vacuform and plastic pieces change from one to the other, and any of them makes fro a great build. The folks at Special Hobby did a great job on that series of kits. Try them, they're great!

Gorgeous result, Javier! An excellent machine.

I've had the idea in the back of my mind for some years to have a line-up of a P-35, Re.2000 and Heja all together.

Thanks S.A.F.

I've had that same idea for years. Luckily, Special Hobby and MPM are releasing a brand new mold on their P-35 anytime soon, so with a little effort we can have now the full flightline.
