Looking good, following. 👍

Skyhiker
I think you should do the factory test model red AND the conservative grey scheme! They are both cool. Heck maybe you should do 20 or 30 of these little suckers. That would be fun.

Mr D
Hi Skyhiker 👋
Thanks.... the red looks smart, quite a few weapons to paint up too.. going to need my magnifying visor.
I have the German F4 phantom and the hornet lined up in the stash 🤣

Mr D
Thanks Edouard 👍
I noticed you have the Airfix Tomahawk on order?
That's a really nice kit to build ...goes together well , the back wheel n control stick are bit fragile! So be careful.

Ben M

Spanjaard
very nice collection

Robert Podkoński
I agree with gorby! More photos, please!

Duster_d
I love assembly ships for their "funny" paint schemes 👍

Scale Knight
Be patient please. New pictures will be added almost daily. I have an offline life too! And THANK YOU ALL for your encouraging feedback.

Guy Rump
Very impressive collection. 👍

Łukasz Gliński
What a cool collection! Hats off, that's a lot of huge planes 👍

William Joel
I have to agree with the other comments; this is a great collection. The details of each aircraft provided just enough history to keep me reading each photo. Thanks for sharing.

Scale Knight
Thank you all once again for your kind comments. We are looking for a new home for this special collection, preferably a museum with a connection to WW2 military history or aviation history. We are already in contact with a small number of museums in the UK but talks are at a very early stage. This would be a straight donation with no strings attached an we would arrange delivery within Europe including the UK but we would need sponsorship for a transport to the US. Any networking connections are more than welcome.

Neuling
Amazing collection of top models with interesting stories behind. Thanks for showing/telling!

Gary Victory
What a collection. They must look really impressive all together.

Have you reached out to
IWM Duxford - iwm.org.uk/visits/iwm-duxford
Thorpe Abbotts - 100bgmus.org.uk/

They might be able to help in some way to house the collection.

All the best.

Scale Knight
Thank you very much. We'll reach out to them in the next few weeks.

Pietro De Angelis
Hi Mathias,
every time I see it again I enjoy your amazing dio,
only the work you did on those old figures is commendable,
only note,
premise,
starting from my low modeling skills and my historical knowledge i would never allow myself to criticize the work of modelers much better than me,
but the BMW R75 was only available to the German army from the end of 1942, it would have been better to use a BMW R12 for example,
however nothing could change the opinion of your splendid work.
A greeting

Rui S
From my album.
In 1941 the production of civilian motorcycles was stopped. Germany was at war and production was adjusted to the needs of the Wehrmacht. BMW motorcycles have always been popular with authorities - and thus also with the military. Single-cylinder models were used as light courier and training machines, and the R 12 was delivered to the Wehrmacht as a side car.
However, the war policy of the Germans required a motorcycle Side car that could be safely mastered on any surface - mud, ice, gravel, desert sand - and that required only little maintenance even at extreme temperatures and heavy loads. In addition, the motorcycle should also be able to cope with longer distances at low marching speeds without any problems.
No German motorcycle manufacturer had such a machine in their range, which is why a special development order was placed with BMW and Zündapp. In the winter of 1938, BMW began work on this project based on the R 71 engine. The beams of the bolted tubular frame were divided. This enabled the engine to be installed and removed quickly, as the lower frame part could simply be folded away. A rear wheel suspension was omitted for better stability. But while the frame proved itself during the test drives, there were thermal problems with the side-controlled motor in off-road use and on longer trips at walking speed. So BMW developed a new engine.
The result was a 750 cc unit with an output of 26 hp at 4000 rpm. The engine developed an enormous torque and, since it had a very low compression ratio of 5.8:1, it could also easily tolerate poor-quality or synthetically produced fuel. In contrast to the R 71 engine, no heat problems occurred during testing, so that the R 75 could go into series production in 1941.

And

Series production of the R 75 begins
date from07.1941.
Description
In July 1941, the first R 75 sidecars rolled off the assembly line in Munich. However, after production was relocated from Munich to Eisenach in June/July 1942, the majority of the R 75 was manufactured in Thuringia. The R 75, with seven forward and two reverse gears and a powered sidecar, was specially developed and produced for the German Wehrmacht.

Pietro De Angelis
I'm so sorry Rui,
thanks so much for the explanation,
you're absolutely right,
i purposely included the premise about my limited historical knowledge,
all you had to do was go and read wikipedia...
I remembered 1942 but BMW had already been in production for a year,
in 1942 after the superiority of the Zundapp KS750 was now clear the army asked to unify production by coupling the Zundapp KS750 to the BMW 286/1 sidecar, mea culpa...
Thanks again and congratulations on your historical knowledge

Pietro De Angelis
Many apologies to you too Mathias,
old age, what a bad thing!
I really didn't remember having allowed myself to broach this topic in the past with Rui,
only admiration should be expressed when faced with modelers of your level!

Desert Marlin
Well done!!! Excellent work!!!

Mathias Decommere
@ Pietro: No apologies necessary, I know it takes some courage to express criticism alongside the complements. And I must say I learned a lot from your discussion with Rui. I do research, but it doesn't guarantee that there are no historical inaccuracies in my work although I try to keep them out as hard as I can. There is also a decal inaccuracy as I may believe another person via Instagram. In this case I took the kit from my stash and didn't really thought it through. So I'm very open to feedback. And I'm flattered offcourse by your compliments!
@ Rui: thx for the information and your contribution!
@ Desert Marlin and Chreswee: thank you so much!
