  1. You need sunglasses just to look at those guys. Lovely work JIm.

     

    They are nice figures to paint, I did a box of pike men last year and some from handgunners from a wargames magazine last year and they take paint well. 

     

    Stay safe mate

    This my latest  model, being a home during lockdown helped to get this finished as the new wing leading edges are a pain to get anything like correct

    I tried to fit the new leading edges as a single assembly as suggest by the instructions but they were an awful fit. So I added the tops and bottoms to the appropriate wing halves then brought them together.

    This seemed to work but a bit of filling was still needed.

    Not perfect but not bad under a very bright light.

    I used a set of Freightdog markings for  the COs machine of 118 Squadron and they were  excellent  thought they need to be  floated onto the model with lots of water as they stick like limpets. The nose door letter provided is yellow and it ought to be Black according to Cold War  Shield by Roger Lindsay. I used a spare decal.

  3. There is a picture on page 39 of RNZAF - The first Decade 1937-46 by Charles Darby of a line up of Tiger Moths captioned as being at Harewood in 1940. 

     

     AI NZ882 is the third aircraft in the line up and has a small Red/Blue roundel on the fuselage sides. The AI is quite chunky so the decals look pretty  good to me. I'll have a look in some more books later but they in storage at the moment.

     

    Hope this helps

    Nice! Can you post larger pictures? Something about a third larger?

     

    With Flickr, are you using the BBCode option?

    Chris, 

     

    Thanks you for  asking, I usually upload the pictures to my album then copy the  link and paste into my post. This seems to have stopped working.  I can't reload older pictures either
