New arrivals to my "hobby" collection

Seems like your P-38 might do better in the Pacific theatre, especially if you could paint it up like the planes that took part in operation vengeance. You could also do with a Bf-109E for the Battle of Britain, an FW-190 and an IL-2 for Russia, and an Me-163 Komet just because it's so totally bad assed

Cheers for the advice its much appreciated.

Since all the models are diecast and already painted (thank god,since i cannot paint or make models for the life of me) i can't change liveries.

The P38 comes with a buble noseand D-Day stripes, its based in England and used to lead P38 squadrons on bombing missions

I could always look into the purchase of a pacific one though because thats a theatre i do need to add to

As for everything else your spot on

For the Russian front so far ive got -

FW190
I-16

As for the Komet.....


bad ass? REALLY? haha

Ha! I admit that it wasn't much use as a weapon, I just love the idea of a self launching glider that gets to altitude via rocket. Tell me that aint bad assed I also just plain like anything designed by Alexander Lippisch.

Ok, so this one doesn't have a rocket motor. That just means job security for the tow pilot

Its been a long time since I posted something on this forum or have played IL2 on my PS3, mostly Call of Duty WAW though. Anyhow great model airplanes, I'm a fan of the Wild Cat myself, don't really like the corsair although its better so they say.

I wonder what scale are these planes FOZ, they look like them might be 1/32. I'm also working on a collection of my own, but nine arent as detail as yours. But that's okay I guess hence you cannot afford to put much detail and modify RC planes without taking the chance that they would look awesome and end up flying horrible. My current project is an Ultra Micro P51 D Mustang by Parkzone. So far I have done terrible jobs on decals and paint scheme as you can see from my youtube videos outhere under Luftwaffe Rommel's channel. But hey, one learns from his mistakes hopefully. Once I finish my modifying this one I'll post some videos on youtube.

Great job on the painting

Hi Luftwaffe,

Thanks for the post

My planes are scale 1/72 and all diecast.The majority are limited edition to, so changing them to make them look different would void the limited edition aspect

Theirs such a huge variety though so finding the right one or something close isnt really to much of an issue for me. I enjoy the endless amounts of time just looking for the right model to purchase.

Thanks for the tips though i may buy a non limited edition model and try what you've recommended. See how my amatuer hands get on.

Many thanks.


James
