Cobra, what are you up to now?

Air support for my zombie game!

undecided whether it looks big or not compared to my 1/55th Apache.  Already got a 1/48th Marine Harrier.

Corgi one?

If so, it does,, i'm looking at mine right now

The cobra is indeed a corgi - the apache I picked up in portugal.

I think they will probably be alright together, particularly as they will be in the air.

yeah, it's only when they're next to each other it's obvious, at safe rotordistance it's fine

3 x 1/144 scale C-47s in D-Day stripes - Cafereo Big Bird 4
1 x 1/144 scale AC-47 gunship for Vietnam - Cafereo Big Bird 4.

AH! From Skytrex 1/144: two K.u.K. Luftfahrtruppen Aviatik D1, two Ansaldo A1 and a big honkin' Gotha G.IV, also for the double-headed eagle. I've ordered a length of light grey cotton felt which I will paint up as Venice from above. They are for WoW, of course, and will be added to the two Italian SPAD XIII and the UFAG C.1 I already have.

We really need a "Like"-button for posts

Looking forward to seeing some pics of a Venice-mat

Using Google Earth as a template I realized that at 3000 feet the whole of Venice would be a bit of a chore. But it is doable with some simplifications, like making some lagoons less vast and using two tone colour scheme for walls and teal roofs (darker on the shade side). The good thing about Venice is that its pretty well preserved through the decades. I just have to omit some obvious anachronisms like the cruise ship docks etc. I figure light grey felt will make a pretty good as a base since atmospheric haze makes colours less distinct at higher altitudes.

1/48th Walrus seaplane

OBR, that Swordfish had better not be to attack my carrier with, or there will be hell to play!

1/48th Walrus seaplane

I have the SMER Walrus. Lovely bit of kit. I'm a sucker for floatplanes and flying boats. There's just something so old-fashioned and romantic about them.

And who knows, one day I may actually even build the kit!

I been a naughty boy. A billion unconstructed planes, and yet I'm still buying 'em. Sorry, just had to have this one...

Although its displaying a deplorable attitude towards Negroes, I am a great fan of the German expressionism in that poster. Just a few shades, contrasts and colours and you manage to get so mush across. I have the 'Uboot heraus!' poster in a tube somewhere. Wish I had a place to hang it.

[Plynkes]

I rather dig it, too. That's why I chose that poster instead of posting a pic of the boring old box art of the kit.
