  1. As for shadow, compare the shadow under the horizontal tail plane: this is much lighter than the black "thing" below the cockpit.
  2. Very impressive work, Sir! Should your Irish decals come to grief you are welcome to a set from Aeromaster 48-005 "Foreign Hurricanes" Richard
  3. Hi Jamie, Hurrah!!! Airbrush Shop Denmark did supply all the SH Colorcoat paints needed for my projects! A big thank you for your work in researching and producing this excellent range of enamels. Richard

  5. close ups start about 1:00 into the film https://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/irn1001754
  6. Thank you for the info on the big "4A" on the lower wing surfaces. For once, just in time to get something right on my build (Tamiya 1/48 using Aeromaster decals) Richard
  7. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dXDl60fLdo starts at 9:45 Richard
  8. Cybermodeler gives "November 2020" for a release date. Richard
  9. Nothing at all; I cited the Potez 63.11 as pictured in Heather Kay's message 2 postings down from yours. Richard
  10. Did they have a competition going? (tried to insert a smiling emoji and failed) If so, there were two categories: - the least aerodynamic (built from leftover IKEA parts): NC 223, Farman 222, Amiot 143, Bloch MB 200 & 210, Potez 540 & 650, Loire 130M - the excessively aerodynamic : Breguet 693 & 695, Potez 63.11 - if the designers were unsatisfied with their efforts, they bought ugly planes (try Cunliffe Owen OA1) The "ugly duckling" idea is a minor point I gained from Christian-Jaques Ehrengardt's excellent "Camouflages & Marques de l'Aviation Francaise 1939 - 1945". Richard
  11. The Airfix Modelworld issue linked by MDriskill has a photo (contents page, ref. to page 8 ) of a Typhoon with its individual letter repeated on the wing root leading edge. So the plane in your color photo may be "T". Richard
  12. Hello Mr. Duff, you have probably been down that road and found it impassable, but here is: Looks like Hannants can and does send xtracolor enamels in tins to mainland Europe via Parcelforce surface mail. Would this be viable for Colorcoat tins as well? From Hannats, FAQ page: "We can now only send Alclad and Enamel based paints if it does not go on an aircraft or a ship. Please be aware that you are not allowed to take it on-board an aircraft yourself. This means by Parcelforce SURFACE rates. Royal Mail will not take it at all. Parcelforce is more expensive but they will take it to most mainland EU countries that they drive to." Obviously I haven't the faintest idea of Parcelforce prices, let alone the hassle involved, or whether it's worth it for a non-trade order, but oh for an assortment of NARN formula Colorcoats! Richard (in Austria)
  13. https://members.boardhost.com/Warship/msg/1596901731.html Can't wait!! Richard
  14. Colors 0f the Falcons: Do you recommend this book?
  15. Italy entered the war on July 10, 1940. A bombing attack 2 months earlier is unlikely. Cheers.
  16. The entry/exit hatch on standard Ju88s opened against the slipstream. Were there any conversions for agent dropping? He111's were used for agent dropping. Richard
  17. Built Accurate Miniature's B-25 as "Dirty Dora", using the kit-supplied stencils and decals for the bat-motive. I like the result very much, the OD and light blue do go together quite well. Richard
  18. Logging in to "Marinearchiv" lets you see contemporary photos of S 151 in postings Nr. 5 & Nr. 7 as well as photos of a model in posting Nr.11. Richard
  19. Forum Marinearchiv had this thread about S-151. HTH, Richard https://www.forum-marinearchiv.de/smf/index.php/topic,31137.msg353253.html#msg353253
  20. P. 42 in Squadron "Yak Fighters in Action" has a photo of a group of Yak 9DDs "at the 97th Bomb Group base at Amendola near Foggia, Italy". The first Yak (white wingtips, oversized stars on fuselage and rudder, small red star on landing gear cover) does look like it was painted in one color; at least my old eyes can not discern a color demarcation line on the fuselage. Was there a one-color scheme for Yak 9DDs? If so, which color, and was that color overall or uppers only with the usual light blue lower surfaces? Unfortunately I can not scan the photo and haven't found it on the net. TIA, Richard
  21. Lucky man, to have access to Sovereign Hobbies Colorcoats! They are hard to get on the European peninsula. Doffing my hat to your excellent build! Richard
  22. Or were they removed to lighten the plane? I am planning to build Williamson's "4A" as at Taranto. Greeting, Richard
  23. Will we get to see a build report? I am curious about the brown/blue reece version. Richard
  24. Were the bracing wires painted the color of the surface they stood on? If so, did the color change vertically above a color separation line on the wing? Or were they paired a uniform color, if so, which? TIA, Richard P.S.: What is your experience with the Tamiya photo-etched bracing wires? Easy-peasy or PITA?
  25. Was that the inspiration for the Mistel composite?
