Holger KranichHi Michael, good morning! My 109 will get the "Red 13" markings. I like the witsch on the fuselage and it is a bird, stationed on my island in the fall 39/40.

Aghis BarberopoulosI built the Gelbe 14 witch, using aftermarket decals. The witch and possibly the red colour "13" of the eduard decals are not that accurate...I believe.

Holger KranichThere are many meanings about the colour. I have pics of the original, so i think or mean, that red or better a dark orange will be right. But i´m not sure at all!!!

AckiMoin Holger, der Priest sieht gut aus. Ist der von Revell/Italerie? Gruß Acki, Ostfriese in Berlin

Holger KranichMoin Acki! Schön von Dir zu hören. Ja ist der Revell-Priest. Ansich ein nettes Ding, auch von den Zugaben her aber ich hab ihn vor ner halben Stunde versaut... Ich wollte das Modell mit Lifecolourmattlack versehen und den letzten Schliff anbringen und hab den Lack wohl nicht genug verdünnt... Jetzt sieht dat Ding aus, als hätte es 20 Jahre an einem Salzsee gestanden... Ist also nur noch Spielzeug für meinen Sohn... grrrmmpff!!! 🙁

Holger KranichHey Aghis, now i´m sure!! The 109 i´m building, was stationed on the island where i´m living (thats the reason i´m building it). I asked one of the grandpa´s, who experienced the war here as an crewmen of an 8,8cm FLAK. Besides he´s the islandchronist and he told me that the aircraft´s with the witch on , had red numbers on the sides of the fuselage. He was absolutely convinced that it was like he said! He even knew the pilot, Fw Kurt Ubben! A modeling-mystery is solved! The man i asked is named: Hans-Jürgen Jürgens, Wangerooge

AckiWillkommen im Club. Das Gleiche ist mir gestern mit dem Bren Carrier von Tamiya passiert. Der Schaden ist aber nicht so furchtbar groß. Ich laß es drauf. Die ganz starken Stellen hab ich mit dem Cutter abgekratzt. Könnte mir vorstellen, daß man es mit ganz feinem Schmirgel (1500er oder feiner) wieder runterbekommt. Evtl. den restlichen Schaden mit Pigmenten und Ausrüstungsgegenständen kaschieren? Sonst das Ding bei Euch im Wattenmeer aufstellen, da stehts ja im Salzwasser. Never give up! Gruß Acki

Holger KranichDanke das Du mir Mut machst, ich hatte es schon aufgegeben... Ich stell dat Ding aber erstmal aus Frustrationsgründen beiseite und widme mich einer schönen Bf-109. Der Priest war sowieso son "Ich bau es aber eigentlich habe ich keinen Bock mehr drauf" Modell. Vielleicht kann ich den ja auch in einem Dio als Beschussmodell verwerten... Mal schauen irgendwas wird mir schon einfallen!

AckiDen Schock mußt Du erstmal sacken lassen. Magst Du mal ein Bild von dem Unglück einstellen?

Holger KranichNa lieber nicht... Ach ich werd nach der Mittagspause mal eins machen und hier posten!

Christian MundtDas Pech muß ansteckend sein. Ich darf jetzt das Turmdach von einem Panther neu lackieren, irgendwie hat es das letzte Washing nicht vertragen. Merkwürdig, am restlichen Fahrzeug hat´s gut geklappt. 🙁
16 July 2011, 11:20
Christian MundtNee, ich denke eher, daß die Grundfarben noch nicht ganz trocken waren. Naja egal, hab´s jetzt angeschliffen und werd´s morgen ausbessern.

Aghis BarberopoulosHolger, I am sorry I cannot follow all the german discussion (wish I could). If you talk to Herr Jurgens again, please pass my warmest greetings and tell him it is an honour for me to hear such a first hand account ! I am really thrilled. Thank you.

Holger KranichHello Aghis! We were talking about some misfortunes whilst building our tanks. Christian and me ruined some parts of our models. I meet Mr. Jürgens on wendsday and i know he would be pleased to hear from your greetings! He wanted to give me some rare pic´s of the first Bf109 B´s & D´s, wich were stationed here at first! And he would see if he have any pic´s of the 18.12.1939. This is the day when the first dogfights in the war happend over the northsea and some parts of it happend over Wangerooge. I´m very exited about that!
18 July 2011, 14:15
Aghis BarberopoulosThis is exciting indeed! I will post photos of my Gelbe 14 as soon as I have them. Please do not forget to pass to Herr Jurgens my sincere greetings and wishes for good health. Thank you again.

Aghis BarberopoulosIncidently, Kurt Ubben, our subject pilot and legend, was born the same date I was...just 59 years earlier (November 18, 1911). 🙂
18 July 2011, 14:50
Holger KranichBe convinced that i pass him the greetz and good wishes! I let you know what he said about this! Would be very nice to see how your " Yellow 14" looks like! i´m looking forward to see the pic´s! 🙂

Aghis BarberopoulosIs that "crazy Holger" in the muzzle ? I can't see it clearly... 🙂

Holger KranichThank you, Ahis! It´s still a pleasure to talk with you and getting kidding!!! 🙂
3 August 2011, 18:49
Aghis BarberopoulosIt is good to have a laugh! We have to keep our spirits up. Thank you too, Holger!

Holger KranichI couldnt remove the matt-varnish and with it on the surface, the tank looks like it was freezing in the spring, so i decided to create a winterdiorama.
4 August 2011, 11:30
Holger KranichNo no! The 109 will have summerconditions, just like your lovely "14"!
4 August 2011, 11:44
Aghis BarberopoulosOn the Eduard kits again, I have stopped working on the Bf 108 two years ago - due to serious problem of fitting the cockpit, the fuselage and the engine all together...after the 109 experience I am thinking of going back to it for another go...
4 August 2011, 12:00
Holger KranichAnd so one project after the other comes on the "to-do-list"! I hope to live long enough to get them all finished 🙂!
The bad fitting is hopefully not a typical Eduard-problem... But maybe you can fix the "Taifun" and bring her to live after 2 years?
4 August 2011, 12:09
Aghis BarberopoulosI certainly hope so! It is a very nice aeroplane, and I am making a racer...shiny blue finish... 🙂
The to-do list is enough to keep me occupied for the next...uhm...uhm... (don't want to think about it)
