Really nicely done all around, i love it! One of my great-grandfathers actually knew Priller, they would hit the bars in Northern France hard together. Unsurprisingly Priller married into a brewery after the war, it is still in family possession to this day. It is the Riegele Brewery in Augsburg, they even mention Josef Priller on their homepage.
Hi Michael, commendable effort!! But if you don't mind some comments - the big issue is the colour of Josef Priller's uniform, it is way way way over the top! The strong bright blue colour was never like that in real life. The box art colours showing the 'dress' uniform he is wearing to get in his BMW are way too strong. There is much info online showing the 'real' colours of the clothing which in the scale you are using will show. BUT this brings me to another point many people don't think about - scale colour in models. If you paint an Fw 190 at 1/72 scale, 1/48 scale, 1/32 and 1/24th scale, most people will use the same ratio of mix. So the colour has the same 'value' on the surface of the model irrespective of the scale - in fact i.e. the smaller the scale the lighter the paint should be. Paint manufacturers need to make paint mixes according to scale - but a bridge to far I'm sure. Some really keen modellers are aware of this and do their own scale mixes, But amazingly this was discussed i.e. scale colour on models in an Airfix Magazine in the early 1970s when I was a kid. All the very best, a great model you have done!!!
Probably not, I just matched the colour that was on the box art. With his bright red car, he was probably a very showy, gaudy man. The other issue is that the colour matching on the tv screen isn't matching what I see in real life - I probably need another camera.
Im pretty sure it was Priller who was the German pilot in the movie 'the longest day'.
You are correct.
