Old Fw and Me kits

I'd definitely dump these three if I were you. The rest are probably at least okay but I'm not entirely comfortable about assessing the accuracy of kits of WWII German a/c.

Oh, I don't know - the Mono. 109 isn't all *that* bad - if nothing else, it's a cheap kit to practice airbrushing on or some such.

Well, one could say that about any kit. Talk about damned with faint praise! ;-p

It's got lots of rivets for surface detail and no aftermarket parts made for other 109Es will fit it without extreme modifications.

I just happen to be building one so I've got a place to put those leftover Hasegawa decals. How can you turn down those wonderful retractable landing gear? 8^)

All the kits listed were done in the sixties and seventies. They're decent representations of the aircraft and if you've got aftermarket decals looking for a home they're perfect. They've all been superceded by better models but if you're not going to enter them in a contest, have fun.

I keep a "cut and paste" file with selected symbols downloaded from Win-dooze Inserts for just such an occurance.

Thanks to everybody for replying.

aftermarket parts made

Rivets à la their P-40B/C would be fine. A thick coat of paint, fine sandpaper, and voila, instant enhanced panel lines and rivets. And the canopy's gonna be closed on this one.

OK. I would like to picture the bunch of a/cs that Russia got from Germany before the war. Even if that did not really happen, officers and pilots walking down a line of Messerschmitts with red stars ought to draw attention ;-) Then again, there's that lovely white Wurger, still wearing its unit badge...

BTW, since I'm at it, is there a site or online source that would help me making sense of the Fw.190 variants? Still a dark horse to me.

Try Alt + 0162 (numpad keys).

Thanks Bonehammer

try alt+0162(the separate numerical keys),or on my keyboard its alt+fn+0162...also dig around the start screen(start/programs/windows tools or some variation)and find the character map my 2 ¢

by the by...any oldies you don't want...be glad to accept donations,I love nostalgia modeling...:-)

THAT'S why the character map didn't work in most applications! Thanks!
