I suspect he's taking pictures of us from above while we're doubting... :?

I piled on a little more...so it's just taking a bit longer. Should have some pics in a while, when I finish up the pits.

Alright...here we go!!!

Was just planning on the one build for this...but I just don't roll that way!
The G-6 to G-8 conversion build is with a set of "Overtrees"(???)...just the kit, in a plain white box, no instructions, no decals...along with the Brassin pit and engine. Since I had more kits on hand, may as well throw em in the mix too!!!
Another G-6 Profipack and an E Profipac.

Comparison of kit parts vs. Brassin.

Image

I added some wiring/plumbing and other detail to the kit parts. It bugs me, that they'd put out some mediocrity so that you have to spend more money to get something good. I'd never make it as a business man...I curse my conscience!

Anyway, pics before they all get closed up!

I painted a more appropriate RLM66 over the purple that Eduard gives you on their PE. Clear glue for the inst. faces. Added wire to gunsights.

Brassin pit...

Kit pit...

E pit...

Will be going open cowl on this E. Still have a lot to do on the engine details, that'll come later.

Image

Nice PE for the inner cowl detail.

Some good fermis magic! Like what is happening.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

A few things:

1) I love your PITs and want to sit in them...

2) I'm diggin your new white backdrop for your pics---color of pics seems more natural.

3) Once everything is painted up there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of qualitative difference in the BRASSIN and OOB PIT for the G. The biggest difference seems to be some shape differences on the R wall???

4) Is the third 109 an E-3 or E-4, and what scheme? Also, what scheme for the second G?

Much thanks guys!

There's a fair amount of difference between the Brassin and kit parts. I added to the kit parts quite a bit, to make it a bit closer to the Brassin stuff. I was bothered by the differences...maybe I'm just thinking too much. A lot of the details in the resin could have been done with the plastic parts...but then, I guess they wouldn't have the opportunity for the Brassin "money grab". Even the PE between the Brassin and profipack is different. I don't get it...different stuff for the exact same plane, from the same company...????... :chair:

Anyway....I'm eye ballin this scheme for the other G...

Image

Whether or not it will end up there...not 100%. I like it most, for the included schemes....but I really like schemes that have been field modified w/ painted over/changed markings.

I'm really diggin this E-7!!! (for the same reasons stated above)
