  1. I am not usually an armour modeller. This was a quickie OOB for light relief around building a Wingnut Wings Camel. Thats in an Aircraft RFI but here is my early desert war armoured car. The kit went together very simply with virtually no filler, the main challenge was the Caunter Scheme. I used Mike Starmer's Tamiya mixes, though not sure I got them completely accurate. This photo shows the colours as I saw them in my workroom but the black background ones may show how the Caunter scheme appeared in the desert? Anyway it was a fun and fairly easy build. I would be happy to build more Roden; luckily as I have a few of their planes in the stash! Cheers Will
  2. I am planning to make AN218 "Menace", a 112 Sqn Tomahawk IIb, as a holiday project. It is from the 2012 Battle of el Alamein gift set which Airfix did for Modelzone. The painting instructions very distinctly stipulates that the spinner is to be painted white, however most references seem to say that this squadron's aircraft had red spinners. Similarly, the one picture I have been able to track down suggests to me that the spinner is darker than the underside. http://www.scalemates.com/profiles/mate.php?id=14121&p=albums&album=19078 Does anyone know of any definitive evidence on this point? Many thanks, Anthony
  3. Was the Desert camouflage scheme applied to Halifaxes operating in the Western Desert? It is very difficult to tell from photos whether the scheme is just a faded version of standard RAF bomber scheme (black underside, Dark Green/Dark Earth uppers), or whether the Dark Green was overpainted in Sand. I gather the Wellingtons were given a desert scheme, but so far I have found no definative confirmation that the Halifaxes got the same treatment. Can someone please clarify this point. Juanita
