Andrew D Jolly Rogers guy Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) 1/72 Spitfire Vb in the markings of a Danish pilot who escaped the German invasion and occupation, a salute to my Danish-American heritage. Build consists of: -AZ Models Spitfire kit -Squadron canopy -Quickboost exhausts -Master brass 20mm cannon -aftermarket resin seat, can't recall the maker, sorry -Variety of decals including AZ Models kit, Aeromaster, and Revell for the Danish bits (Thanks Bruce!) First photo includes a slight glimpse of my Mormor (grandmother) who struggled all through her school years to learn English as her family assimilated into their new life in America, while still treasuring their Danish heritage.

FinnAndersen Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Niels Ebbesen could not have been a WWII pilot, as he lived in Denmark 1308 to 1340. He is indeed a Danish hero and I believe that one of the other presentation Spitfires were named after him. Enough history lesson, you did a fine job on the Mk Vb. Not every day one sees a Danish connection. /Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
