Will do mate.

Apologies and back to you Geoff 

No problems - and that sounds like a dam good idea. I always have a bit of a problem cutting very thin strips off the tape I have. Didn't know there were very thin ones available.

If I need to cut thin strips off Tamiya tape, I stick it to a sheet of glass first and then cut it with a ruler and a scalpel. The tape's got more than enough tack to stand being stuck on the glass and then peeled off again.

I have tried something similar, but with mixed results - I suspect I need more practise.

.............except the Sm-79 may be a Ju-87C

...........WHICH I CANOT FIND - - - - So back to plan A.

[Geoff]

Well I have doubled the dose of meds and got some modelling done at last. I have done a Finnish Me-109E; the back story is that the Luftwaffe units in Norway got Bf-109 Fs from Africa (they really did and in desert cammo). So  their Emiles were sent to the Finns from the depots in Finland complete with the unit applied winter cammo, and air filters added. Should be ready for the Nats

Like the idea of Finnish 109E's.  If asked and off the top of my head I would have said "well they might have had some". Fool a few people

They did want them, but never had them delivered same as Sweden.

You now have me thinking of C or D series 109's (which I do have kits of) in Finnish or Swedish markings

I think an early -109 would look good in Swedish '38 markings with the FC on the fuselage ( the FC was/is similar to the A+AEE in the UK)

[Geoff]

Well it's 01;30 and I am trying to get a Mig finished for Thursday. So much for it's a hobby, and should be relaxing and enjoyable. Ah crap

[Geoff]

Well I got the Mig done and packed up.  Not sure what to do next, a rat bike or a B-17

[Geoff]

Started the Rat Bike, but it's not engaging me so onto the "Shelf of Doom" for a while. Started a Beute Panzer SU-85 but it's more real than a wif.

[Geoff]

Well the Su-85 is sort of done, and I've started an Indonesian F-16/79 (Dam you ChrisP). Was sort of wondering about a Czech Kfir/Nesher. I have seen a Bulgarian one on here somewhere. So the Czechs did business with Israel in the 50's - why not a few Kfirs went t'other way? Perhaps similar to Panther G's Mirage IIIC?

[Martin H]

Hmmm NATO Kfir's?  I say go for it! And Yes, Panthers Czech Mirage scheme would look good on it

[Geoff]

So after nearly a year I thought I had better try and post something.

I have done a number of 15mm scale tanks not many wifs in them but there is a T-44 Beutepanzer, and I am doing a T-54 model 1945. Yes there was one but I cannot get the accurate turret shape so I recon it's another Beutepanzer. Also thinking about later wifs for Twillight 2000 as I have a couple of T-64s that just need a bit of imagination applying. Perhaps a middle eastern scheme, or soviet Finland winter scheme, or Ukranian???we will see.
Dug a P-70 out of the stash today, looks good in the box, but the decals/stickers are knocked.  - - - - - perhaps VVS??
