Now, that's well done and quite plausible. Has anyone invited him over here?

surely it would have BMW radials (or the Mitsubishi built under licence by BMW) before it would be accepted in to service???

Eddie,

The silver Zero is excellent, a very nice job on that model.

What bothers me about the thread is when JackMan posted a link to a picture of MY ''Luftwaffe Zero'' and is taking credit for it. :angry:

I wonder how often that happens to other modellers? I know of at least one on-line contest where somebody entered a model that was not built by the entrant and the actual builder of the model was not even aware of it.

I didn't read it that way - to me he simply referred to your superb ("infamous" :D ) Luftwaffe Zero. The only problem (maybe implied ownership) was by one of the next posters (Ron) who seemed to imply that JackMan did it - unfortunately he doesn't seem to have been corrected. Maybe it would have been better if JackMan stated clearly upfront that the Luftwaffe Zero wasn't his own work, but never-the-less I didn't read it that he was claiming your work. My 2 cents (or what ever the conversion rate is now :lol: ) worth.

Greg

Maybe Jackman did not intend to take credit for my work but that is exactly what happened anyway. But in a hundred years from now who is gonna care one way or the other? For some reason that Zero I built has created a lot of ill will...much more than any other what-if I have made. I never intended to produce an infamous model. :o

Jackman has now put up an explanation. He didn't realise what had happened till I pointed it out to him. I think he's a bit embarrassed about it!

Yikes, Nick!

After I made that post I had completely forgotten about it & never took a look at it again. Hence I didn't realise that people thought it was mine. Please forward my apologies to the gentleman who created that masterpiece. Will set the record straight right away.

warm regards
Jega aka Jackman
