Erich Hartmann's airplanes.....

I came across these photos of plastic models representing the various airplanes which The Blonde Knight of Germany, Erich Hartmann, flew during and after WWII. Hope all of you get a sense of history when seeing the evolution of Hartmann's Tulip pattern:

If these airplanes appeal to any of you, please join me in asking Jason at Admiral Toys to consider a production run for each and every one! We already know that the CL-13 is poised and ready to make a grand entrance for us (THANK YOU JASON!!!) in the short run, thus my interest in Admiral taking this idea under their, pardon the expression, WING

!!!

Again, enjoy,

I'm in for the T-33 and F-4!!! I don't know if we need another 109, but all five of these are extremely sharp!! Great research dV!

Plane Nuts, Are you kidding

Scrap all the other 109's throw them in the trash and give me Eric's 109 NOW

I have the 86 on pre-buy and if they put up the F-4 that is another must have. But by God give me the Me 109 FIRST

Why 21c never made either a 1:18 BF-109G or a 1:32 109G in Hartmann's scheme is something to ponder. It is a striking scheme, incorporating the flashyness of the "Herman Graf" 109G with the more standard coloration of the Rall or Hackl 109s. I'd get one for sure

I find it cool that he ended up flying American designed aircraft after the war. Surely a cool guy.

No, no, no! I was only speaking in ref to dV's idea of having Admiral do one!! I would love both 109 schemes, but I think 21st will have to be the ones to do them.

BTW, did anyone get a look at Bad Cat's preorder price on the CL-13?? OMG, WOW!!!

Wow, I did not know the pre-order was even up for the CL-13!!!!

Thanks Starman 352nd and Plane Nuts for the tip.....I just scrambled, literally, to the BadCat* site and ordered my 2. This ordering of 2 is becoming habit
