By the way, this is sort of what I’m leaning towards right now:

Can’t guarantee I’ll stick to it, but it’s part of a display plan I have and would fit in nicely here, since I’m not a big Luftwaffe fan.

Hi Michael

That’s a brilliant and fitting choice - not only is it a fantastic kit, but it was the very one that Steffen began the What The Postman Brought Today thread with back in 2008!

All the best

I didn’t remember that! Serendipity.

FWIW, my ultimate plan is to do the Tamiya A6M5 and F4U-1D in 1/32, 1/48. and 1/72 scales and display them all together in my office. So far I have the 1/32 A6M and 1/48 F4U finished and the 1/32 and 1/72 F4U in progress. Just for fun.

Michael, that would be 6 a.m. New York time. We are 6 hours ahead of the US East Coast. So you have to get up early at your place … :yawning_face:

Actually, that’s 4:00 pm our time, which it now is. So we’re live! The official thread is here. Let’s see some good quarter scale models for Steffen!

I only see this now, what sad news! I remember Steffen very well over many years now. Really sad to loose him in the community.

I never met him personally, but he helped me a lot of many rookie questions about 10 years back when I moved from only doing AFVs to also doing planes. His patience was large with very basic rookie questions. A true loss to the community.

Need less to say, I am in for this campaign. Clearly with a luftwaffe plane.

I always liked Steffen’s posts. He set me straight about the outer wing panels of the Fw 200. I think he was my opponent in the Aeroscale Duel campaign, his I-16 vs my Ki-27.

I thought I already signed up but can’t find evidence that I did. Count me in. I started a Tamiya Ki-84 for it. Only glued part of the cockpit and painted some. Too much? If allowable, I’ll continue with it. If not, I’ll find another true scale airplane - maybe Monogram’s Do 335.

Hi Fred

Welcome aboard! :beer: The Hayate will be perfect for the build - it’s totally OK to bring a kit that you’ve already started to the table. This build is all about having fun and celebrating modelling in tribute to Steffen who did so much to support our hobby.

I can see you’ve already found the official build thread, but I’ll post the link anyway for anyone else who’d like to join in. :slight_smile:

All the best
