Thank-you Wojtek!

That photo recce spitfire looks cool and like the other spit too reason no invasion stripes

 

[Crimea_River]

If you're talking about AE-B, this scheme with the popeye nose art was carried on that plane just a couple of months before D-Day. It eventually became Johnnie Johnson's mount and was all striped up when he landed at St. Croix sur Mer just a few days after the landing.

The paint on the PRXI looked a little odd if you looked close, seeming to have some silver sparkles in it. Doesn't show up in the pic though.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Well done and well deserved Andy.

 

[Crimea_River]

Appreciate it Vic.

[Crimea_River]

Thanks Karl. Let's move on to the next category, 1/72 Single Engined Jet OOB. Only 3 entries:

Gold - Airfix Sea Harrier
Silver - Emhar F3H Demon
Bronze - Cute little He 178 by Condor (all 3 inches of it!)

 

[Catch22]

Cool!

 

[Gnomey]

Good ones!

 

[Airframes]

Nicely done models, especially for tiny tot scale.

 

[Crimea_River]

Here are a couple more, in not-so-well populated categories:

In the 1/72 Super Detailed Single Jet category, a Hasegawa Canadair F-86 Mk 6 and a Tamiya F16E.

In the 1/72 Super Detailed Multi Prop category, we have just this one Hasegawa B-25 in Russian livery.

 

[Catch22]

A least they're all well done. Love that Sabre scheme.

 

[Crimea_River]

Yup. Nicer one coming up later though. I thought the 434 Schooner Sqdn flash on the tail looked a bit odd where it breaks at the rudder. Confirmed to be on the other side as well. After checking pics, the downward bend is accurate.

 

[Airframes]

Very nice indeed, especially the Sabre.

 

[Gnomey]

Good stuff!
