77th FS 20th FG 8AF Spring 1944 flown by Lt James Morris
The canopy was ill fitting and my diabetties would not permit me to make the correct small framework on the side windows, please allow for that.
Flown by AG 'Sailor' Malan, July 1940.
Malan was an unusual ace, he tried to kill all of the crew of a bomber except the pilot, because he believed the Germans would be demoralized having to remove bodies from bombers.
Thanks again to everyone who commented on the build.
There is still real value in building the old stuff, i enjoy it immensly myself, its much to easy to buy the latest high tech over priced kit that builds itself. Its a lot more fun to build an old kit with some character and make it at least respectable.
Thanks, my brother made one in 1968 using those colors, this is a gift for him in the same colors.
Thanks much. its the first car I've made in over 30 years.
67 impalas are one of the best muscle cars ever.
Thanks steve. I found the backstory of the saipan Chi has very interesting, most were lost within the first day of the US landing, few of the crews survived.
Thanks much!
You should make it, it goes together really well and makes a nice display piece.
Thanks much! i was pleased with the outcome of it.
Thanks much Andy! The bulldog is an interesting tank, a cold warrior that was given to many lesser 'free world allies' during its operational history.
i wanted it to look like it just rolled out of the depot.
