Excellent work as always Alain. As I have mentioned in previous posts I really admire your attention to detail when it comes to create more Malta Spitfires for your collection. Not only compiling and attaching the black serial numbers which is a task that requires a lot of patience but also the yellow letters which are hardly available apart from the "GL" squadron code.

Excellent work as always Alain. 16th Squadron SAAF has a long history. Originally they were equipped with former South African Airways Ju-86Z aircraft. They also flew Martin Marylands and Blenheim Mk Vs. Later on 16 Squadron was a Beaufighter outfit in the MTO and operated in the Balkans. Today, the Squadron is still active and is flying the Rooivalk attack helicopter.

An Argentine P-36 is indeed a rare sight. In particular, this version with the fixed landing gear which was ordered to use the aircraft in rough-field conditions. A total of 50 of these airfcraft were operated by the Argentine Air Force. Whereas 30 were delivered by Curtiss the rest was license-built locally. The last Argentine P-36s were struck off charge as late as 1954.

A very beautiful model Alain. 25 Squadron was the sole RNZAF unit that was equipped with the SBD. Although there were plans to have more Kiwi SBD squadrons the RNZAF opted for the Corsair as a fighter-bomber instead. Still, the only RNZAF SBD unit distinguished itself in combat and flew a total of 530 operational sorties from March to May 1944. The particular aircraft you modeled NZ5057 BuNr 36925 flew 36 combat sorties and was returned to the USN on May 20th 1944.
