Nice combination you got there FrogFoot.
If I may suggest: do you have helmets with cloth cover, like the ones used by the SS, guess they would look a little more modern.
I must admit that I was thinking of Dragon’s Modern Marine set when I suggested to use the MG42, but Tamiya’s has a gunner, too.
Regarding my model I was thinking to name it Sk.70-G Sturmfalke, where “Sk” stands for Sikorsky, the company that makes Blackhawks in the real world.
Thanks, about the cloth covers did not put any one since well I dont have any[8)] I could make some [?] Or I might go raid some old figures for the helmets.
Don’t bother. It was only a suggestion. It’s ok without cover, too.
In the real world, during the intial phase of OIF the MITCH didn’t have covers either.
nice kit. i was looking at the figures and thought that the weapons were too old (except for the mg 42, old but not antiquated). curiously, the Sg 44 is the base of the AK 47, and the panzerFaust is the base of the russian RPG. if you can, i suggest, ONLY suggest, that you can change the weapons, only if you can and want. the figures are all right, anyway.
Hm I might think about that. The AK-47’s cant really do that since I dont have any. And my Russian figures have those and the RPG.The Panzerfaust I am going to replace with some thing. I might end up cutting up the M-16’s to some thing different. Just playing with the figures right now.
Thanks, but dont think I will get them. They are 6.96 for 44 guns, and I am not that big of a fan modern figures. And would not have much use for the other 40, since I am more of a Napoleonic, Medieval and Anime builder.
I believe Germany uses H&K designed assault rifles nowadays let me check my figures sets for spares ( I mostly build armor so I have alot of figure sets[:D] ) maybe i can send you a few BTW the german army still uses the MG42 it now is the MG1-3 family
Thanks for the offer PanzerWulff, but I have already made some new guns. There a mix between the Stugg 44 and the left over M-16’s. I will post some pics of them later. Thanks for the offer again[;)]
Well primary Assembily is done ( fuselage,wings,tail,engines & cockpit all put together) and I have started on the primary painting. I’ll be doing the “Spotted” north africa scheme with a yellow and black nose I hope I can get some pics before I get too far ahhhh the deliema of not owning a digetal camera of my own[yuck]
one of my friends has one but I haven’t been able to see him too often of late he takes the photos of my models he is supposed to come over either today or tomorrow hopefully we can get a photo session in[:D][;)][tup]
