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 8) :oops: !!!

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

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 8)

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!!! :D
