Whoa! That Cobra with digital camo is un-fracking-believable!
You (almost) took the words right outta my mouth!
It IS awesome! That's some paint job - and by that I mean the model (especially) AND the real one! I was still in the Army when digital began. The guys who had to paint it HATED IT. Out in the field, I couldn't personally see that it was a better kind of camouflage. Those vehicles were just as easy to see through our TIS & TTS thermal sights than any other type of paint scheme. Thermal sights just don't care. When you have a sight like what is used in many of today's tanks that uses liquid nitrogen as a viewing material, EVERYTHING gives off heat! Even winter grass. (Liquid nitrogen is −195.79 °C; - 77 K; −320 °F) Really cold. Almost ANYthing on earth shows more heat than that!
Great selection. Wish there was a mainstream 1/72 kit of the HP 42
There was a vacuform, I only saw one built. Like that WW I Staaken bomber.
I can't agree more. That Hannibal is from a 1:144 Airfix kit. I saw a Contrail kit once (the seller asked 120USD for that - but I chickened out not just because of the price but that huuuge vacform thing is scary as hell).
Yeah Contrail did vacform in 72 tough kit to do and pricey second hand.
Ahh - there's my scale! Man, there's some beautiful work on display - something to shoot for...
I was member of the jury of 1:72 propeller driven aircraft (master category). They were all really good - actually 8 of them achieved 80% on the scoring sheet! No mistake! 🙂
VERY interesting! Near the beginning of the photos is an ME/BF 109 E type - can anyone tell me what the markings are? I've never seen those before.
Mr. Editor, this has been a wonderful series! Thanks for taking time to post ALL that you have. I'm hoping for even more!
