Hi Guys, late to the party but I'm in with this one for the Dark side 😉

Hi Gregor, I will be going with the box art of white 44, this simple overall scheme RLM76 can look stunning if you pre-shade and weather it right.

I have built this scheme in 1/32 and love it 😉

Not to be too picky as myself really would like to see that BF-109 in that scheme, but doing some research on NJG11, they didn't start operating until Aug 1944. Was checking to see if they operated BF-110's but it doesn't fall into the D-Day window. Want to pose a question to Neil, do you have a specific time frame for D-Day, just units that operated on 6 of June 1944 or units that operated beyond a certain date as the war progressed beyond the beaches?

Thx Chuck

Hardly, not even a tad angry, hot or annoyed. Just a question. As I also saw a few other German aircraft that NJG11 flew, a number of unique aircraft like the Ju-88, BF-110 your BF-109G, etc. in unusual schemes. Would love to build one of those as well. So I am hoping that there is some room to allow some leeway in that regard. Don't need to get sensitive. It is not up to me in how this GB is managed or my decision. Otherwise the Luftwaffe would be quite limited in choices. I am absolutely want you to build that 109. I did mentioned that I would like to see you build it? You have every right to build it. So go for it and have fun.

There were more Luftwaffe sorties than the famous Fw-190 strafing run. The Germans flew over 150 sorties on June 6, Priller's strafing run over Juno and Sword beaches merely being the best-known for making it into the book "The Longest Day." They were the only fighters to make it into the air over Normandy that day. However, by June 7 the rest of JG 26 was operational over the beachhead, and within another two days other Jagdgeschwaders had been transferred from Germany. However, there weren't any German night fighter units involved in the battle of Normandy (which lasted till late July). There was a lot of air combat over the Normandy battlefield. However, reading German accounts of the battle, you're not going to find G-10s there (since they didn't show up till that fall, after Normandy). You're looking at Fw-190A-8, some Fw-190F-8, and Bf-109G-6 aircraft. Also some Ju-88s.

Looking good Andrew. Nice to see it started 🙂 .

Hi, the cockpit goes into the fuselage as a modular from underneath on this kit 😉
