Re: A FEW PHOTO's OF THE NEW FM's

Nice pics Rock!

That 109 looks interesting... as does the Junkers, quite "ecclectic" for FM to produce?

The bubbletop T-bolt is nice, too... too bad about the C model though.

Looks like they did a nice job on the Junkers. Definitely an interesting plane to model.

Re: A FEW PHOTO's OF THE NEW FM's

Guess I had one on file.

Interesting paint scheme, and might just have to pick up.

Looks much better than the 1st release although the canopy still has issues, but probably not something that can't be easily fixed..

I dunno.. the prepro photos on this one looked better to me? Those pics showed more of a mottled paint scheme with bare metal...

I came across a model review that had a fairly similar paint scheme.

Re: A FEW PHOTO's OF THE NEW FM's

Nice pictures RJ, the Junkers looks super, the P-47 bubbletop ditto, and the Rufe... well, it looks decent as well. The canopy height does not strike me as being that far off on this one, wonder if they did any work to correct it for this model.

Any PBY pics?

Re: A FEW PHOTO's OF THE NEW FM's

Regarding HM's latest Rufe, the kit-make pictures posted by CC, which appear to depict the same plane, show the identical shade of gray ( JN Gray? ) on the upper and lower surfaces. This makes a lot more sense than the Japanese taking the trouble to mix a lighter, yellowish hued gray do do a bit of upper surface patterning. More likely, the whole plane started out in gray and green was added later.
