It was the Kinetics 1/48 scale kit Kevin, I already have a second kit that I found for less than half the cost of retail. I was missing parts for the wings. Now I can do one folded and one extended. If I am ever home again I am going to finish the first one I got for Terry. He's been waiting for over a year for it now.

And that is excellent news Prem!
 
Yep.. it is. It is a plane used in May 1940. The model is an early type of the Hurricane with fabric covered wings.
 
It's a new-tool release from this company. The kit appears to be very accurate in outline shape, dimensions and detail. There are two options for making of the model ( two cockpit windshields and two props). Also cockpit interior has a couple of different details for both variants and there are two bottoms of the fuselage. Two disadvantages though ... no a gunsight and the starboard fuselage half doesn't have the fin moulded together. The one was added to the port one. As a result , for sure, there is a thin gap between the starboard half of the fuselage and the fin that requires some of putty, sanding and polishing to make the area looks properly.

The PK-G FB387 was flown by Eugeniusza Horbaczewskiego. As memo serves he used three Mustangs III of different serials ( FB166, FB382, FB387) but the same PK-G letter code. Also the number of victory markings was different because of period of time.

















Regarding the pilot of the PK-H , there is a problem becuase the Mustang III FB353 known as the one with PK-H code ( earlier SZ-H FB353) was transfered from the 316th Squadron to the 315th one at the end of 1944. Because there were applied seven or eight victory markings over V-1 the only pilot who could have flown the plane was Wt.Off Tadeusz Szymański.




PS. Mustang III PK-H FB376 stayed with the 315th Squadron in 1945.
