...and furthermore..if you accept a few tip...I suggest to invert the windows cut-out lips. Now you have to glue the windows from tge outside..leaving spaces and letting the glue being visible. Inverting the lips, I mean doing them in the interior face of fuselage, you can even paint the fuselage scheme (with no windows), then them can be inserted from the inside with no glue visible. They were assembled this way in the actual aircraft..so this solution could be more realistic. Regards Maurizio Di Terlizzi Rome Italy

Hello Capetonian and thanks a lot for this fantastic news. I have read about a forthcoming P.166DL3 version and here I am offering help if needed. I am a Guardia di Finanza's crew chief and work in Pratica di Mare AB near Rome. I am an aircraft restorer and the Director of Air Service museum. We operated 12 P166s divided into the first two former Alitalia airlines planes..and 10 more in the DL3 configuration. In the 2000s 1/3 of the fleet was withdrawn from service and the rest converted into DP1 version. I have on display a beautiful DL3, if you like to offer our version too, I can help with every kind of measurements..detail pics..decal size etc. If you need help..just ask Regards Maurizio Di Terlizzi Rome Italy

Hello Graham, Flavio and Brewjerry and thank you to you all for your kind replies. I put this post because I am closing a very very long research I started many years ago and it will be finalized in a forthcoming book about the defense of Rome by 3rd Dtormo unit during the summer 1943. I am doing these in deep researches only basing on original documents. On that 13th of august Rome was bombed so heavily and the alarm was over around lunchtime..but.... Approx at 4 pm a new scramble occurred and there was combat trying to stop new bomber formation coming from the south. I cannot find any evidence of what..who..and unit identification of the second attack... TIA M

Hello I am doing am in deep research in an air raid performed by us forces over Rome region on 13th august 1943. I have evidence and many infos about the main raid that hit Rome in mid morning but have not about a further raid performed in the afternoon...around 4 pm hour, coming from south some mile off coast. I am pretty sure that this wasn't directed over Rome..probably against other targets in the mid italy regions. Who can help please ? TIA Maurizio PS. I do have the book Mediterranean Air War vol 4 but there aren't the info I am looking for 😀

Hello was I just wondering if there is an 1/32 scale model of this nice plane in 32nd scale...in any kind (paper, vacformed, plastic).....any. TIA Maurizio

Hello Dov and thanks a lot for your kind reply. I wanna build a 109G pilot's position with a floor, control stick, rudder and throttle to fly combat sim with a VR google. I just need the measurement of the case...I mean the box of the throttle from which gas lever/handle comes out. I live in Italy and sadly there are no preserved Messerschmitts here... If you like to share your drawings with me I will be grateful. My email is [email protected] Thanks so much Maurizio

Hello I would like to build from scratch a full size Me109G throttle case to be used in combat simulation at home. I would need the basic measurements and a side diagram/drawing...who can help please ? TIA Maurizio

Hello I just saw a beautiful 3D image at 360 degree on a Me163 Komet cockpit on the RAF Cosford facebook page. It is fantasting to tap you finger on screen and see all the details all around the cabin. I would like to do the same with a genuine wartime C45 beechcraft that I am restoring. How to do that ? What equipment I would need ? Is there an App that could help me ? Thanks a lot in advance Maurizio

Hello, I am looking for some pictures of Indian Government Beech C18S' in charge from 1945 to 1946, with serial VT-ASR...ASP..ASZ. Thanks a lot in advance Maurizio

Hello I am finishing my 1/48 scale Hawker Typhoon in the markings of Bee Beamont PR - G and would need the enlarged underwing (A type) and fuselage (C1 type) in 48 scale. They were 42 inches that in 48th scale are 2,2 cm in diameter. I have the old Aeromaster Storm in the Sky 48-372 sheet bought as a used one but the roundels are missing. Who can help please ? I also checked the web to look for a suitable decals sheet but I am not able to find one with such particular diameter. TIA Maurizio

Hello everybody, Chris was so kind enough to help me with my build and also provided few great images of the planes. He kinly requested to post them to the benefit of all Britmodeller Typhoon's fan. Thank you Chris

Hello Chris thanks so much for your specification. I can't find any pic of PR-S..maybe it could be the choosen one ! PR-F seems to be a good choice..there is a very good pic with many many paint touch up in the nose and fin. I was also tempted by a conversion to transform the a/c into a very early MK I with machine guns armament. I saw a profile of JG with a rank pennant but cannot find a pic of the aircraft. Was it based exclusively from reports or a pic existed ? Tia Maurizio

Hello I am planning to build a car door type hawker Typhoon with PR codes from 609 sdn. I am choosing between F, G and D side code. F is really famous and the others too are cool but...I would like to know if they all ever carried underwings bombs. I would like to fit them, but am not able to find any picture of the code letter I mentioned with such external load. Only model kit's box art are really full of bombs hanging or dropping. What was the reality ? Thanks a lot in advance Maurizio
