| I would love to have one in Hartmann's paint scheme by Corgi, but every place I have checked it is sold out. So you just have to work with what is available. |
May suprise some, but when I was Married & living in London (at the edge of RAF Hornchurch itself)
I decorated/painted up our main Back-Bedroom, to match my most expensive
'Robert-Taylor-print' (which took pride of place, on the main-wall, in an 1930's OLD-oak frame, my Dad rescued from the 'Civic-Centre' Council office where he worked !).
It was "Knights-Cross", which depicts Hartmann's "Yellow-1" flying in an Early-Evening sky, shooting down an IL-2 Stormovik.
My Mother bought it (back in '89) as an investment (she paid £165 for the print alone........!)
Dad sorted the frame, & Wife, (suprisingly), ACTUALLY congratulated me on my choice of colour co-ordination, twixt 'Wall & Hartmann-signed print"
my 'Luftwaffe-IPMS kit building mates, just came round & stared & salivated, whilst Wife would poke fun at 'em, calling 'em "saddo's"
Would have been nice to find a Die-cast in "Yellow-One" to match, but sadly, since moving & Divorce, said print sits forlornly in a spare bedroom at my Folks place 7 miles away !!!!!!!
Reading this thread & Cruver's previous post, set me thinking just how (relatively) Limited, Corgi's 1/32 schemes are - I'M NOT SURE ON THE 'F.M.' CHOICES, BUT THEY SEEM MORE VARIED ??????? (though I like the 'Wilde-Sau' Corgi 1/32 !!!!!!)
So far, my ONLY Bf.109 in Die-Cast, remains the
"Barkhorn" '109, which I purchased along with
'Grumpy' & 'Flash's "QV*H" as a pair !!!!!!!!
