Me-109 Racers?

[thepaperguy]

Hello All Thepaperguy here and i was sent this link to a build up of a 1/24 scale Trumpter Me-109 done up as a post war Finnish Racer. i would like to know if its possible to make some of these re-paints offered in 1/33 scane using the ModelArt Bf-109. i think this would be a fun project and something different and more colorful that a normal Me-109. link is to the build and shows some links to other info on these birds

You could paint the finished model, but I think you want a recolored print. You could try recoloring it yourself, using GIMP, or maybe find someone who can do it for you.
Amoscarmel, Ecardmodels has a GREAT 335 by Marek, detailed and well made with cockpit and wheel wells. I have built the stock version (the only 335 left in the world at the Smithsonian) but would like someday recolor it as an air racer. I enlarged mine to 1/24, this is it along with the 1/33...Rich

That's what I would do, in fact, all of my paper models are hand-painted. I realize some people actually build paper models so they don't have to paint, but I enjoy the painting process.

Thank you richkat but the DO 335 is not on my "wanted" list, yet.

Ive already got my Beta of AirDaves Racer 5 i did and just waiting to enlarge it now. and my group on facebook it thinking of doing a reno build off. you could ask around and see if some one could re-color a kit for you. Yes my group loves paper kits so dont feel shy about posting your WWII builds and as an ADMIN they dont bother me
