Trying to work things down here, besides operating from Malta, who operated the Beaufighter over the Adriatic and Aegean Sea?

 

[A4K]

A quick check in a book shows Nos. 252, 272 and 39 sqns using Beaus in the area. There may be others aswell.

Great to have you and Peter in on this!

Has any got (or know where I can get) the 1:72 Kits At War decal sheet #DDK7219: 'RAF selection - Mosquitoes and Beaufighters' ?
Seems the company's sold, and all stock sold out - net search revealed nothing either.

Specifically I'm after the Beaufighter X markings for P6-F1 (NV425), of No.489 (NZ) sqn, and the Mosquito MK.XIII markings for ME-Z (HK365) of No.488 (NZ) sqn.

Cheers in advance for any help!

I haven't seen the sheet for long time Evan. It might be a trouble with finding of one.

 

[A4K]

Yep, reckon so too my friend - checked the sites of all registered retailers, and none have this sheet in stock. Will probably end up improvising the markings from spares.

 

[Wurger]

I hope you will manage to find a few proper ones that can fit.

 

[A4K]

Thanks my friend, so do I!

Had a look through my mates decals at the expo Evan but didn't spot it....

 

[A4K]

Thanks for looking Wayne!

Seems it's one of those rare sheets someone will discover in 20 years time stashed away in their attic
