Claus 3.5 of the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ("Statement," "Terms," or "SRR") in last year's mandate dose not, I repeat dose not, state any type of infringement. Also, if you read the Data Protection mandate of the EU dated july 2013, claus 3.5.5 states... and I quote " ....third party images must not be more than three thirds of the actual image and must not include any recognizable facial images." unquote.... so according to any High Court ruling, Marco did not indeed commit and infringement crime....... I declare the man innocent

Are you sure Marco???

I think he started the wooden effect with this one ta

I followed these from a aircraft forum.....



For lower wing he suggests...Dark Green - Venetian Red - Pale Green and the Right side: Dark Green - Pale Green

Now if you are referring to the hue, colour tone etc........... I was not there nor was anybody and nobody knows the exact shade of colour.

My concern is the metal part. What did they use in those days..... aluminium? Should it be more silver than a dark silver?

Too bad it won't show if it is hanging from a ceiling.  the 109 is nice too, a bit clean but i think that is how they were.  don;t know a damn thing about WWi so i will not comment.

bcauchi wrote:i agree with Ray, after all you are modeling a piece of history and i guess it would be better to talk to your children and explain what happened during WWII instead of not putting a swastika on the model. it is not after all a symbol of Nazism only but has been an old symbol used throughout history and was only adapted for use by the Nazis.  But as Ray says, you have a right to do as you wish.   i hope you don;t leave it out if you do a model for yourself.

I just LOVE YOU Bri
