Hello
everybody.
I
would like to show you the second part of my JV 44 squadron.
This
group was built in the April 1944 in München- Reim, which is situated in the
southeast Germany. Pilots flew around the air base, didn’t fly for Hitler, but
only for "Vaterland" and for general Galland. They protected starting/
landing of Me-262 jet fighters, because they were the most vulnerable during
these maneuvers.
The
planes JV 44 had nice colorful camouflage on the lower wings, which was in red
color with white stripes. This camouflage was very important, because in the
anti aircraft artillery was teen-age boys, who were shooting at all planes… If
we add the allied attack with P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, Hawker Typhoon and
Tempest, the pilots Luftwaffe had only a little chance to survive. Those few
men, who survived, were the luckiest.
However,
on the other hand, at present nowadays it’s good, that the allied airforce had
absolute air superiority.

D-11 (red 4) - Revell/ Dragon 1:48

This
kit is different. It was produced 20 years ago and it is obvious. I needed too
many putty and I had to rebuild the covers of Mk-108 canon, the cover of engine
and a few parts in the interior.
But
I think the result looks good.
Now
I am building up next Fw-190 D-11 (<61 or <81) and Me- 262. Then I will
have my own JV 44 complete. My neighbour will build up last part JV 44- red 3
and red 13 Fws- 190.
