Category: 2
Scale: 1:72
Manufacturer: Williams Brothers
Model Type: Martin 139WH (Dutch East Indies export version of Martin B-10)
Details: 1-VLG-II Netherlands East Indies Army Air Corps, Java Island Feb-1942
This one was a challenge and when it came to painting the canopies, I was in over my head and still am not fully satisfied with the way it came out. I think if I had done this after having a few more models under my belt coming out of "retirement", I would have done a better job on them. Also had a heck of a time finding the right size decals, which being white meant I could not make them on the PC – so I had to settle for yellow instead. I also slightly overdid it on the pastels around the ailerons– which were not noticeable until I took the pics. Landing gear had to be placed up due to collapsing.
The one thing I can say about working on obscure aircraft, information is not readily available!
