Your name rings a bell with me.......have a look at the pics I posted in this thread:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/showthread...535&forumid=57
and tell me if they are yours.
I think I got them from rec.models.rc.air quite some time ago and cannot remember who's plane it is, but your name sparked some sort of recognition.
Looks great BTW!

Actually the plane in the pic is not mine. But almost just like it. I wrote the review for RC Report a year or so ago (January 2002). I know this one is not mine because not only did I add the swastika tothe tail, there are a set of numerals on the wheel spats. I have made numerous posts about the Stuka in the past, and it is one of my favorite airplanes (I have three other Stukas of various sizes). In the pics you have notice where I advocated painting the white cockpit and a few other items to "dress" up yourgull winged warrior.
WHen you think about the fact that in 1937 they were flying this Stuka, when 20 years earlier they were flying bipes, and then 6 years later jets, you really have to appreciate the mechanical engineering that was make such great advances. Too bad it was for the wrong reasons.

thanks again
well ........... Germans had navy blue and that kaki type / Sand color. About the shirts I just decided to make it light blue as I had and served in the German Air Force ( Bundeswehr)
This is the first paint job on little pilots. As you can tell , I am new to this all. Anway , I try hard and best as I can.
About the paint. I got it from Riders and it is acrylic.

what should we name them?
Here are the 3 pilots
The twin brothers were painted by me. Total costs for the pilots around 40 bucks.
The other pilot (black uniform) was given to me as a present but I guess you can get him from Riders. That "boy" looks little lost.
However , here is my question to the experts:
What should we name the twin knuckle heads?
