This Eduard's kit allows me to do yet another Invasion Stripe theme. It should (hopefully) be a cleaner finish this time around and not have to rely on 'weathering' to do little coverups; practice makes perfect.
A bit of history that I found about Beamount's and JN751. Quite an accomplished chap, at such an early age! I see these examples and look at our 21st century crop and just have to shake my head, Certainly would have been a great person to have had known personally!
Great choice.
I met Beamont a couple of times back in the 1980's, and a friend owned the "Minicab" he'd done the approval test flight on - a very nice chap.
Wing Commander Roland 'Bee' Beamont's Tempest V, R-B JN 751, on the airfield at Newchurch village, Kent, June 1944 ... a slightly different apparance from the one seen in the first post above.
