Some of the guys in JG11 are currently in a model building contest against eachother.  We have been tasked by a squadmate to build the best representation of our ride in AH.

Results to follow.

Love modelling LW stuff.  I recently finished a 1/JG51 190A-3 from Spring 1943.  Have a JV44 D9 and a few 109s to do at some point down the road.

Why buy those when you can build these with your son or daughter...or self?  This was a ton of fun with my kids.  Picking out the paints, figuring out how to camo paint, etc.  Great time.



Those are sick, I'm excited to do this when my kids are older.  :cheers:

That is Soo cool!  I just got a 1/72 Spit IX and KI84 and I'm going to use INKs skin as a model for the KI.  I'm going with Gabreskis Camo Spit IX pattern.
