My workbench
I haven't posted any photos in quite some time. These are photos of some of the planes I have been working on for some time.
First up some C-47's.
2 US C-47 D-Day markings
C-47
British C-47
For some reason I did one for the French.
Decals are from MISCMINI and the planes are form Mikej. I really like Mike's planes.

Next some Ju-52's.
2 Ju-52's. These are from Mikej.
My idea of one on the Eastern front.
Nothing special.
I have had this one for some time and finally painted it. This is a SHAPEWAYS model. Note the floats.
Again nothing special.
Sharp looking planes Bob. Nicely done!
Great planes Bob. Really love the snow camo.
Nice looking planes Bob!
Thanks guys. There are more to come.
Get transports. Do you have a game in mind, or just loading up the future?

First up are 2 He 60's.

These are all from Mikej and as always MISCMINI decals.
Carl,
I have an idea for the C-47's based on the movie OBJECTIVE BURMA. The transports are being escorted to their drop zone when Japanese fighters jump them. I have a back story for this but that is the short version.
So here is the other German floatplane I have. But first the story behind it.
I didn't realize how big this plane was. When I asked Mike to print one for me I asked for 3. I was lucky to get this one (THANKS MIKE). I have to take a photo of this with the C-47 and Ju 52.

Here it is and nothing special about it. When I was looking at photos a few had RED CROSSES on them. They were used to rescue downed pilots but, the Brits said they were doing something different so would shoot them down.

Hmmm...Next some Ju-52's.

Again nothing special.

Nice planes Bob. A man who likes his transports
Beautiful transports Bob. Hope to see them soon in action.
Yes Mike that is for a minesweeper unit. I thought they may have a seaplane. I was also trying to figure out how to mount the circular antenna under the plane.
Here is the next batch of photos.
Here are 2 E7H's recon seaplanes. These are SHAPEWAYS models.
The camo one.
The other one. Decals are MISCMINI. I used decals from different sets so no special unit.

And 2 more Japanese planes
Again nothing special. MISCMINI decals I have and just put together.
Playing catch-up - nice work on all the float planes Bob
Great collection Bob
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Here are some more Japanese planes. Type 91 fighters.
Shapeways models and as always MISCMINI decals
A lot of nice new planes, Bob!
Don't know whether you've noticed, but Posts #8, #10 and #14 still have Attachments showing instead of photos...
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
These latest planes look very sharp Bob!
Great looking planes, Bob. Will these a/c be featured in an upcoming AAR?
I waited to post some more photos. I don't know why some to show. Here are some P-26 (AIM) Peashooters.
These are from the Philippine AF.
Just US OD color
A camo scheme I saw somewhere.
Another paint scheme I saw. US markings painted out but still in US colors.

Love the seaplanes
Excellent planes Bob. I especially like the blue & yellow scheme.
Like those Peashooters, Bob.
I never saw the Filipino 'roundel' for their aircraft. Very nice.
Now thinking about how to paint my peashooters

Great Peashooters Bob. Have you flown them? Maybe next Fall In we'll have to do a Philippine battle.
Carl,
The "roundel" was the overpaint of the US markings. It was transferred to the Philippine AF. I forget where I saw the photo but I thought it was something different.
I have to take photos of my US ones.

Another set of P-26's. Chinese.

The group
Attachment 335027
As you see 2017
I think this was a Chinese ACE's plane number.
Number 9 again
