Staff Sergeant
Blackburn B-37 Firebrand TF Mk. II
No. 708 Naval Air Squadron FAA
Lee-on-Solent, 1945
Valom kit, my first venture into the arcane world of Czech limited-run jobbies. Threw up a few challenges but nothing major.
I think this plane is quite pretty, in an ugly sort of way. Not much loved by pilots though, apparently. It's kind of a big plane with the proportions of a small plane (actually the "Firebrick" was originally conceived as a two-seater), looks like a 1/48 on the shelf somehow.
