rightwinger26 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I'm in with a 190, I'll be building Oskar 'Ossi' Römms aircraft from February to March of '45 while a Gruppenkommandeur IV/JG 3. During this time he was credited with two IL-2, 2 P-39's, an LaGG-3, and a Yak-3. To make this a little more interesting, I have an Ace of Spades with his signature on it, so I'll be making a nice display base for the plane and place the card and a brass name plate with it.

Grandboof Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Looks interesting . Looking forward to more . Is there story behind the card? Martin H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rightwinger26 Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 I got it from a friend who was able to have Mr Römm sign it back in the 80's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rightwinger26 Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 I forgot to take pictures of the cockpit before I put it in, so they are a little hard to see, but it's pretty basic anyway. More to follow.......... Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim S Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Looking great. I've always loved the elegant lines of the Dora and your display base idea with the card and placard will put it over the top! Thanks for sharing, Jim S Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Netz Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) Please don't paint till you correct those wing root seams.... I see a big seam running through the (one piece) gun door, and the panels forward of it to the leading edge. HTH, Curt Edited June 28, 2016 by Netz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rightwinger26 Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 They've been fixed, I'm just not posting as many step by step photos. I was a little shocked a Tamiya kit had such big gaps. A little CA fixed it right up though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
