OK starboard nacelle for dinghy fairing - I stand corrected. Ley

I believe that the kit nacelles are not quite bulbous enough for a Bolingbroke. Also the port and starboard nacelles are not identical - if memory serves (I'm away from my references for the hol's here in Oz) the former included a dinghy compartment.

Check Hyperscale Airfix forum for the corrections required to produce a Blenheim rather than the rather poor Bolingbroke represented by the kit.

Thanks for the info'. Ley

I recently saw mention of Gladiators being employed as dive bombers in North Africa. Does anyone have details of the bomb racks fitted please?

I had assumed that the SAAF Furies had radiators that differed from RAF aircraft in some way (see original post) but cooling slots make sense. I have a vague memory of photo's of Audax's (in Iraq?) with slots in the cowls but can't find the reference at the moment. None of the Fury artwork/photo's I have see show them unhappily.

The recent SAAF Fighter Colours book describes the Furies as having "tropical radiators and oil coolers". Any idea what this entails please?

Thanks for all the extra info'. I'll get the book Graham mentioned earlier and see what it has to say. Ley

A Hurricane and perhaps a Mohawk IV.

Thanks for all that info'. It's given me plenty to ponder upon. Ley

Aircraft in East Africa 1940- 41.

Any thoughts on a match in enamels please?

Another good reference is Aero Editions Hors Serie 1, Aviation Francaise 1938-45.

Histoire & Collections some years ago had a WingMasters Hors Serie issue on the subject which is occasionally available on E-bay.

If memory serves both Mosquito Monograph by David Vincent and a very old issue of the IPMS (Australia) mag had details. You could try asking on Aussie Modeller International site.
