  1. Hi Tom. I am a nut about JG44. I have a 1/32 Schwalbe that I plan on building soon (ish) and adding to my 'Red1' that I posted last year. I've put a link below, mainly because there are some great suggestions regarding suggested reading, especially around Galland.

    Great to see a fellow fan of the 'parrot' squadron, and look forward to seeing your finished work.

  2. Lookin' good right now, my friend.

  3. Love a good "Parrot" scheme! I'll be watching this.

  5. Thanx for the WIP shots. It helps other modelers with their builds!

  6. Should be something really special when you've finished it.
