MTO/Africa build question

[Heinz]

Gunna rescribe her Jan?

 

[Lucky13]

Well, she's a slim redhead with and tattoos......oh...you meant rescribe her! Naa, she's alright. I remember the lines being more crude than they are, but was wrong, memory has been probably been diluted over the years....

Well, as already mentioned in the Recent Purchases thread I've bought this one for the MTO/North Africa GB, which means that I'll wrestle three twins in that GB.....I need to seek help!

She'll become the B-26C-20-MO, B/N 41-35007 or as she was numbered in the 17th BG/34th BS, 13.....

Well, she arrived in the mail today Paul....got a bit of a rash on my hands of the raised panellines, but other than that, she's a stunner!

Great news there Jan, I have a few books with details on the inside of the B-25 if you need them.

Humm, this one may be alot hard to find info on but will see what I can do. Three, whats the third twin then?

The Bristol Beaufighter old boy....

The Bristol Beaufighter old boy....

You found one in a 13 also???? I will do some more digging but the B-26 will be alot harder to find info on though I do have some ideas and books on the B-26. I think Im up through October on mission reports for Peggy Lou but still at it.

 

[Lucky13]

No, not another "13" I'm afraid. Will be a bird from 603 Squadron "City of Edinburgh"and in anti-shipping duties in the Med. Very much appreciated Paul!

The three "sisters"....

 

[Micdrow]

Ahhh one of these type of aircraft

 

[Lucky13]

Yup! Enough there to mess up anyone's day....

 

[Micdrow]

Hi Jan, Unfortunately I dont own this book B-26 units of the MTO but I did find this in one of the osprey previews of the book.

I have a technical question, would the German invasion of Greece be considered MTO?

I have a technical question, would the German invasion of Greece be considered MTO?

Personally I would have to say yes but Im not a judge for the MTO/Africa build. Terry (Airframes) would more then likely have to answer that one.

 

[Lucky13]

Why not? Greece is a part of the Med, isn't it? I mean she has a coastline towards the Mediterranean Sea.... So personally I think that it should go.

Thanks for the info Paul!

Edit:

World War II Balkans Campaign
Battle of the Mediterranean
Gibraltar in World War II
Italian Campaign
North African Campaign
Operation Achse
Adriatic Campaign of World War II
Balkans Campaign
Cretan resistance
Fortress Crete
Dodecanese Campaign
Operation Felix

Axis occupation of Greece during World War II
Operation Herkules
June 1942 Crete airfield raids
Battle of Kos
Battle of Leros

Operation Lustre
Siege of Malta
Operation Mincemeat
Operation Accolade
Syria-Lebanon Campaign

Just some that has to do with MTO. There's more, but....

I have a technical question, would the German invasion of Greece be considered MTO?

I've asked the same question few pages back... Terry and Wayne agreed that it does, regarding entire Balkan campaign (including Yugoslavia, Greece, Crete, etc.)

 

[Airframes]

Thanks Jan and Igor, saved me repeating the answers! I'll be posting the GB Guidelines within the next wek, possibly even with a map, in case anyone doesn't know where the Med is!! Just got to do a bit of checking and confering first guys.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Sorry imalko I missed it. Sorry for the repeat question.

Thanks Airframes!

 

[Micdrow]

Thanks for the info Paul!

Your welcome!!!!

 

[Airframes]

No probs VB, better to have asked and found out, than not to have asked at all.....or something like that!!!
