Since I'll be sitting on the Typhoon now for a couple of weeks, I thought I'd add this intruder in so I'd get something accomplished for certain in this GB.
Hairless Joe (TH*Z, HR147) was flown by Russell Bannock and Bob Bruce of 418 "City of Edmonton" Squadron, RCAF. 418 was the highest scoring Canadian squadron in the war, with Bannock being the highest scoring individual in the squadron, getting the following kills:
14/15 June 1944, one Bf.110 destroyed, Avord;
19/20 June 1944, one V-1 destroyed;
3/4 July 1944, three V-1s destroyed;
6/7 July 1944, four V-1s destroyed;
7/8 July 1944, two V-1s destroyed;
18 July 1944, one unidentified e/a destroyed and
- one damaged;
19/20 July 1944, two V-1s destroyed;
23/24 July 1944, two V-1s destroyed;
26/27 July 1944, one V-1 destroyed;
4/5 August 1944, two V-1s destroyed;
12/13 August 1944, one V-1 destroyed;
30 August 1944, one Ju.88 destroyed OTG and
- one Bf.110 destroyed OTG
12/13 Sept. 1944, one unid. twin-engined e/a destroyed
27 September 1944, two Bf.108s destroyed;
24/25 December 1944, one Ju.88 destroyed;
5 January 1945, one He.111 destroyed and
- one unidentified e/a damaged;
21/22 March 1945, one unidentified e/a damaged;
4/5 April 1945, one unidentified e/a destroyed plus
- one FW.190 damaged; [1]
23/24 April 1945, one Ju.88 destroyed. [1]
There is a Mosquito here in Edmonton painted in the markings of this aircraft, however it is kind of a mish-mash aircraft; it was originally a later mark bomber, and still has a bomber cockpit, but externally it looks like a FB IV, minus a couple of scoops under the engines.
The kit seems pretty straightforward, and if the belts I bought for the Typhoon are suitable I shall use them.
I actually have a resin cockpit for this, but I'm going to refrain from using it.
