Revell Bf 109 G-6 in 32nd

 

This model blog has just finished a Revell G-6 in 32nd scale OOB - a first build of this kit that has been in the stash for some 13 years now! It's a decent kit, goes together reasonably well - except for the horrible spinner arrangement - and is here finished in AK Real Colors. The spinner spiral was masked and painted as were the fuselage 'Bauchbinde'. As usual I bought some Quick Boost add-ons (bulges, charger intake) and then decided that really the kit parts were just as good so the model was finished OOB in the kit markings - this is a late-war machine with the tall tail and Erla Haube to represent the machine as flown by the Gruppenkommandeur III./JG 5 ace Franz Dörr. Dörr achieved around 120 victories, his last in late October 1944 in the Eismeer Geschwader flying over the Far North. 

below;  essentially the same kit - in the G-10 version - as built by Auguste Kleinpeter to represent 'yellow 8' of 9./JG 300

May model club night - Challengers in 1/35

Here's a few images from the two club nights I've attended this month at IPMS East Kent ( RAF Manston History museum) and Shepway Military Modelling..(Kent Battle of Britain Museum) 

First up, some Challenger tanks, including  Robert's build of the Trumpeter kit followed by two of Steve's from the complex Rye Field kit to the more simplified (and 'desertised') Tamiya kit...
