Return to Index   First there was the Red Baron von Richtofen's Flying Circus.... March 15 2012 at 6:22 PM   (Select Login CSMO) HyperScale Forums from IP address 173.22.156.217 In February 1945, Reichsmarshall Goering decided to do it one better. This is my flight of whimsy entitled "Fatso" Goering's Flying Circus. It features a pair of 1960s vintage Lindberg FW.190D-9s. I bought the kits for $4.00 on Plane Trading. One of them needed a prop, cowl, and canopy. A troll through the scrapbox and a smash-molded canopy later and I was in business. The paint colors were the guadiest that I could find and the kits were brush-painted. The decals were scrounged from the scrapbox. The stand is coat hanger wire and scrap lumber. The base is patterned after one of the boxtops on a Polish 1/72 glider kit. I used leftover craft paint. The nameplate is printed on my computer and fastened with Krystal Kleer. I had a lot of fun and managed to blow off a little steam while doing it. Adios, Larry Field Artillery brings dignity to what otherwise might be merely a vulgar brawl.     Respond to this message    Responses Oooww!
