Hi friends,

I'm proud to show you the photos of the first test-build of the Mohawk:

Thank you!

PE parts are generally useful and can add realism to your model; but sometimes there are just bothering.
PART makes splendid PE; but I must say I NEVER have used the totality of the elements proposed...

Yes Scott, it was too much for me... But the kit part is good enough, no problem for the kit...

XF-55 Deck Tan was not satisfying finally: at day light, gived an impression of a little bit of grey, and definitively too dark...

I've opted for another paint: French Beige from PolyScale. Looks better...

I don't know if I will build all those eight kits in 2011, it's just a wish... But when started I will lead it until its end (2011? 2012?... Later?)
My goal is to buld the kits with a minimum of aftermarket. That will for sure help to speed the process...

Nico, excellent idea of course; but I will limit my what-ifs to Belgium actually. OTOH, you have RS Models that makes nice Dutch kits like the Fokker D-XXIII & De Schelde S-21 in plastic... You're more lucky than me with the Renards being released in resin only, and the R-36,37, 38, 40, 42 series being very badly made - You'll see that during my build...

Aircraft Modeling / Project 2011: "What-ifs" Belgium 1940
« on: January 02, 2011, 12:50:49 PM »
I present you what will be my big project for 2011 (that can go until 2012 as I'm not a fast builder), that I will start after february: a serie of fighter airplanes that could have equiped the Belgian AĆ©ronautique Militaire if... if... if... Well, the history is well known.

My project is based on serious sources, essentially the magazines of the Brussels Air Museum, the books over the Renard aircrafts, etc. Really, it was possible that some of those aircrafts have served under Belgian cockades if the aircrafts could have been bought, or if the war have begun in 1941 only...

First of all, the national production: the Renard 38


The Spitfire MK I: it is said that one or even three were bought for tests purposes, but weren't delivered due to the war


The brewster Buffalo, 40 were effectively bought, but first ones delivered after the Belgian reddition


The Curtiss Hawk 75: the Belgians were interrested by that aircraft but priority was given by Curtiss to France, so Belgians opted for the Brewster...


The Grumman Martlet: it is said on Wikipedia that Belgians bought 10 Martlets that were not delivered before Belgian reddition and given to Britain - I've not found other sources...


The Fiat G50: a Belgian commission sent in Italy tried to buy that aircraft but instead, Italy proposed the CR42 that was finally bought


...But the Brussels Air Magazine gived also informations on the fact that Germans could have proposed to Belgium:

...Some of Czech aircrafts, after the annexion of Czechia. No more information, so I've chosen the Avia B.534


...the possibility to buy somme Messerschmitt!!! Again, I have no idea of the type proposed (B? C? D?) but as I own on my stash a 109E3, let's go for this last one!


All those aircrafts will be painted in Belgian colors, with some plausible variants to avoid the monotony...

Rendez-vous end of february!  :-salut
