    New Releases for February 2022 - Knights of the Skies

    This model has a lot of surprises, at least for me. I just noticed the flaps can be extended? I did not see this detailed in the marketing shots, but when I look back at the Doertmann FW190 it does show extended flaps. Very nice. now mine is displayed completely down and dirty.....

    New Releases for February 2022 - Knights of the Skies

    My Priller FW190A-8 is here. This is the best JJDesigns aircraft so far! and that's saying something! The weathering, and paint scheme is superb! And how did they get that antenna wire to slide along with the canopy? very cool. Has all the warning stenciling, in German, and the exhaust stains...

    New Releases for February 2022 - Knights of the Skies

    Stickler's make things more proficient, and accurate. I need to be more like that, before publicizing my comments. I appreciate your input and corrections. Your research and endorsement of the JJD Priller FW190, has locked in my decision to purchase it. I like my models to be as accurate as...

    New Releases for February 2022 - Knights of the Skies

    See, this is a perfect example of rushing to conclusions. I never looked at the date of the Priller/Car photo, or studied the image before posting. I apologize for such a non typical move. And, if you have researched these as much as it appears you have, I am even more excited to have this new...

    New Releases for February 2022 - Knights of the Skies

    A beautiful paint scheme for an FW 190! I will order one of these! The paint looks ALMOST spot on. looking at the images of Priller at the airdrome with his car in front of this aircraft, the grey ammo splotches seem to be kind of sparse on the rear fuselage sides of the JJ model, and on the...

    Recent purchases from Russian Manufacturers

    I second that idea! I have several Attica painted figures. all have been excellent, and fast considering what they have to do. And, yes, they will work with you if you have some custom requirements. Never had any kind of problem with them. Chris

    Britain's Jack Tars and Leathernecks.

    This Britains range have always been pretty good. But I just received the US Navy sailor 1941-45 dressed in his whites. This is an excellent figure.. well painted, and detailed. very convincing and iconic figure of a US sailor. highly recommended. His hands and sleeves are hidden behind his...

    ACE 205 plane Tail

    Hello, No, this particular plane and that particular unit, at the time, did not paint the swastika on their tail fins. some theory's as to why, but they added them later. The model is correct from that unit and time period, to not have one. Chris

    New AeroArt Roman Aquilifer

    Compared to my other figures, he looks to be 60mm.

    P 47 Thunderbolt

    I would definitely be up for JJD P-47! Maybe my favorite WW2 aircraft. two distinct "styles" to consider. the razorback was the first. many pilots made their names with these. and although they started out with the OD and grey came paint schemes. many had very distinctive nose art and colors...

    New AeroArt Roman Aquilifer

    Just received a figure from AeroArt StPetersburg, that I've wanted for a long time. Roman Praetorian Aquilifer in tiger skin. the painting of the figure with the tiger skin colors is very interesting and a nice add to my collection!

    Will Lightening Ever Strike?

    Yes, I'd love to see a P-38. Would be a BIG model. Although the way JJD puts these into boxes with removable parts, they may be able to economize very well. Wings off, two levels of foam with parts? I know everyone will want Bong, or McQuire, or the other top aces. But for pilot story, mission...

    May 31st - June 4th, 2021 News Update - The Fur Trade

    New Releases for May 2021 - Knights of the Skies

    This looks very nice. Although all the color renderings I've seen of this aircraft show the red spinner swirl stripe is thinner and less prominent than that shown. Most FW190 spinner swirl stripes are just like that, but Dortenmann's aircraft had a much thinner painted stripe. Just commenting...

    Question on 71st NY Volunteer Soldiers

    Nope, Only corporals and sergeants sported stripes on their sleeves and pants seams. Infantry white, Artillery red, and cavalry yellow. Each unit sported a corporal for each company, and perhaps one or two as color guard or adjutants, messengers. the later khaki uniforms had coat cuffs and...

    April 2021 New Release

    Correct! The US Army issued The US Springfield 45 caliber single shot breechloading rifles to the State/Volunteer units. The Regular Army units got 30-40 Caliber Krag rifles and carbines depending on if Infantry or Cavalry. Theodore Roosevelt and Colonel Wood lobbied to get Krag carbines for...

    March 29th, 2021 News Update - The Knights of the Skies

    An excellent question, about how JJD paints these aircraft. I can make some guesses, but would need to see a few situated next to each other. A skill that when applied, makes these worth the cost. I admire the effort to have such accuracy in the paint and markings on these,. you can never make...

    March 29th, 2021 News Update - The Knights of the Skies

    NICELY DONE! If JJD get's his to look half as good as that, I'd be very happy. The paint schemes on these WW2 German aircraft can get very challenging with the colors on the sides having the fading patches. You have a talent for showing use and wear without over doing it. most models go too...
