Title: Hello from Dallgow/Germany
Post by: chowhound on February 28, 2016, 02:17:45 AM

First excuse my english, but since school (40 years ago) I had only rare opportunity to speak or write english. But I hope, you understand me. 8)
My name is Jürgen and I am now 61 years old. I live in Dallgow-Döberitz, a small community near Berlin in Germany. Here also Manfred von Richthofen was trained at the "Flugbattalion Nr.1".
I run from my youth model building, and my first airplane was a DR1 from Revell, that I still have. In the meantime I have also built sailboats, warships and tanks, but two years ago I returned back to the aircraft. Mainly Props. from the Second World War. But now and then I am also building aircrafts from the First World War.

Best Regards
Jürgen (or english = John)

Thanks for the warm welcome. ;D
As I have already written, I build mainly aircraft of World War II. These are mostly built as a diorama. I will show you in this post some photos of my work. I hope this is OK for you, although it has nothing to do with the First World War.

First a Picture from my B-17G "Chow Hound". It's in 1/48 scale, with light and starting engines. (Many parts are scratched)

The right Engine in 1/12 (a Wright Cyclone  Radial Aircraft Engine from the year 1959 by Monogram)

(http://www.h-j-bellenbaum.de/cy/cy58.jpg)

A P-38J -Ligtning

(http://www.h-j-bellenbaum.de/p38/38.jpg)

The Doolitlle Raid

(http://www.h-j-bellenbaum.de/hornet/h1.jpg)

(http://www.h-j-bellenbaum.de/hornet/h7.jpg)

And finally a mounting bunker for the Me 262 as it looks in April 1945. The original stands in Thuringia. I built this model for a museum in Thuringia. It's in 1/72 scale, nearly 2 meters (6 ft) long!

I hope you like it a little, even if it is not the first world war.

best regards
Jürgen

Hello friends!
Thanks again for the warm welcome here in the forum. So you like my models. So I'll show you in "Time to relax" my favorite models. Some were built for competitions or exhibitions. There are represented almost all sectors of modeling. But beware! There are a lot of pictures. And three small Youtube videos are also there. Have fun watching.  ;) ;D
Now I'm waiting for my Ninak from WNW, so that I can present you my first building report. :)

best regards
Jürgen
