  1. The French publisher, Ailes de Gloire, has a title which includes details of his F-5 at least. If memory serves, he spent some time in the US after the French surrender and did not return until after the fall of the Vichy regime - this would man that he did not serve with the FAFL.
  2. Thanks for all the details.
  3. Were these a/c repainted in the green/black/light blue scheme late in the war?
  4. I have some photos of the La-9 and -11 in the Chinese Aviation Museum if you're interested.
  5. I've looked into this a bit and there seems to be two schools of thought: - blue fuselage/yellow wings - green fuselage/yellow wings As far as I can find out, there is some debate about photos allegedly taken at Madrid and no authenticated shots of the 281 in Spain have surfaced.
  6. Thanks for the details. I was hoping to get an HP or P-G drawing.
  7. Can anyone please provide details of this ventral mounting/fairing as fitted to Halifaxs. Thanks.
  8. Can anyone tell me a stockist of this kit please? They don't seem to have made it here to Oz.

    See Shops/Vendors

    for details of resin conversions from Platypus Publications.
  11. It seems that the RAAF Lightnings were not F-4s but field modifications of standard fighters. The camera ports were slightly different from the F-4.
  12. Unit personnel pre-war RAAF in May 1940? Some seem to be wearing the lighter coloured RAF uniform.
  13. The South African Colours and Markings series has a volume with details of colours of US a/c used by the SAAF.
  14. Check out Mushroom's book on the Ju 87 for details of sub-types.
  15. I imagine the relevant Trackstory title would have colour details.
  16. Try the French site Aeroforums.
  17. 451 (RAAF) Sqn may have trialled Hurricane IVs as it did with Typhoons in North Africa, but it was not equipped with them according to my references. I'll check with the local "RAAF in North Africa" guru.
  18. 451 (RAAF) Squadron, RAF did not serve in the Far East nor did it fly Hurricane IVs.
  19. Just an update. Everyone I've contacted, even shops in France, say they no longer deal with TMA as they're a pain in the bottom. So it's not only Australia where their reputation is crook.
  20. Thanks for the details. I'll give them a try.
  21. a reliable mail-order supplier of these please? Thanks.
