Well, enough lurking for me, time to present a new what-if...



First stage: The interior of the cockpit is painted in Zinc Chromate...


Some touches of colours to make the cockpit more attractive...




The tyres are painted with Dark Rubber from Panzer Ace


Boltgun Metal from Citadel Colors for the exhaust


The half fuselages are glued together. Not so easy, for the cockpit placement... Some putty will be needed. Then, the wings and the rear part of the aircraft are also glued (and, again, some putty will be needed)




To be followed  ;D

Always liked this one.  Think it would look good in Rodesian Vampire markings.

Here is one done by a local a couple years ago.

Hallo Nils,

She's gonna be a total whiff, not with a deco from the box... And yes I like the Flitzer but will build this one only. Other Luft'46 are awaiting in my stash...

Very nice, that American Flitzer!

I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the flitzer, they do have lots of whiff potential don't they :thumbsup:
I pusher turbo propped one a while back, and made it into a modern USMC COIN aircraft.

The Revel kit is a good one - goes together nicely - I gotta say the white one in US markings kinda looks nice

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thank you everybody!

I've applied two putties:

- Vallejo for the easy, "straightforward" locations
- Tamiya for most difficult locations/corrections.
