Aircraft Modeling / Re: Late war Bf109
« on: December 06, 2008, 04:40:57 PM »
Now I would like to continue with this Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-10 W.Nr. 150816 manufactured by Erla. Image is from Jim Crow collection and present plane captured at the end of the war. The same plane belong to the II./JG 300 and on the rear fuselage is the three color band blue-white-blue which is regular system of Reichluftverteidigung markings for home defense units.
Erla built Bf109G-10 have some specific options and differ from the G-10 of other manufacturer. Starting from nose it have very asymmetric engine cowling with rear panel strait on the port side and curved on the starboard side. Drawings made by Jean Claude Mermet show precisely this important detail. Other detail to be noted is that on the top wing surface is small bulge above the wheel bay and it is similar to those on the G-6 version.
Camouflage pattern is standard for the late war Bf109 and it consist of the mainly RLM76 at the bottom as well fuselage sides and RLM75 and 83 patches at the top surfaces. As well late work production faced with mutual problems, some sections are not very standard so you could see that horizontal tail rudder are in much lighter color then the surrounding colors as well RLM76 in its close. One propeller baled look to be wash out of color and one blade show much of its natural metal. Cockpit frame look to be in basic RLM66 color. In general all plane look fade as result of long exposure on the direct sun but very clean and only visible dirt is from the exhaust gases.

What if we have some specific shape what we need on profile like the some access panel for example? There is good way to make it from two different paths. First image show how to make two path. I have made one rectangular with rounded corners and one round. Both are of the same height and aligned. next I have do is i have select both with path selection tool, shortcut is a on keyboard, and then on the tool panel I have click on Combine. Result is the new shape, and exactly what I need for profile.

Market / WW1 Aero for sale
« on: December 02, 2008, 06:33:25 PM »
There are 8 issues of WW 1 Aero in total. Issues are 137, 143-148, 160-180. Of these, 10 are "official" xeroxed copies, i.e. they are legitimate copies produced by the publisher when original issues are no longer available. Magazines are in decent condition, i.e. all pages are intact, no loose covers, no markings anywhere but they have been read. One xerox copy has been originally stapled in wrong page order and I have not fixed it.
The total price including shipping (about 40 euros) would be 120 euros. That is perhaps 40-50% off the regular price as 5 years ago I paid 180 dollars for issues 160-180 (21 issues) and at that time US still had surface mail. Today US cheapest shipping option alone would be about 50 dollars.
Let me know!

So this is it- this project come to its final stage. The same modeling was real pleasure as well for first time work on well known subject but in complete different way. Hope that all of you have the same pleasure as I have. Here you are final images...
