..... Pity model shops don't sell replacement hands and wrists !!

How would you put them on if your current hands and wrists don't work?

Looks like P-40's might be popular. Maybe I'll do that Hellcat. Or....Hammy's Corsair if I could find some decals that are cheaper than the model!

 

[N4521U]

You got that right Paul.
Along the side of the cabinet would be an A-5 (5x8) card with a picture of the model and below the story, for quick reference.
Different for sure, but I think it would be a reminder of what individuals gave up for the madness in this world, eh?

 

[meatloaf109]

Yes, that looks about right. Enough to give an historical idea to the uninformed, but not overload.

Bl**dy good idea Bill, young man....
Next week I'll be ordering more paint and the decals for my RAAF Catalina, which is still MIA...
Hopefully, one day, they'll find her and her crew....

If I take part, it'll be with the Fiat CR.42 in Swedish colours or this....'13'!

 

[Airframes]

Great idea Bill, and similar to a couple I did for an anniversary display some years back.
And Paul, 'Service with a twist' sounds interesting, but could be painful, depending on what's twisted during the ..er... service !

 

[Wayne Little]

well....I would like to complete my Foreign service 109's for the next GB, a Finnish G-2 and Hungarian G-6 to go with my Romanian and Italian birds....a D-9 in Russian markings is also a possibility....

 

[s1chris]

Soviet P-40 for me providing my research comes up trumps in time.
Spent case ejector chute that I received yesterday from the very plane -

Cheers Chris

A 'twisted service's, doesn't that usually mean an exorcism?

Russian D-9 is captured Wayne, not foreign service.

Russian D-9 is captured Wayne, not foreign service.

I think they did actually use them in combat, though I'd have to double check.

[Crimea_River]

Still doesn't cut it in my book. Germany didn't sell or give them to Stalin.

 

[Wurger]

Andy, these Doras were captured planes. However there is no proof these were used by the Soviets operationally .

 

[Crimea_River]

Exactly my point.

 

[Wurger]

And it's mine too. There are other planes used by Russians and delivered to the USSR according to the Land -Lease agreement. Hurricanes, Spitfires, P-39s, P-40s , Bostons and a few more I'm convinced.

 

[Lucky13]

Hurricane, Thunderbolt, B-25....

 

[Wurger]

yep....

 

[Wayne Little]

Don't know why I added that...must have been a blonde moment....I was looking at the Dora decal sheet at the time....

[Wayne Little]

Yep that's it...
