    In the second film with 1830 and 1833 Sqn, there is a mix of cowls up and down when they are warming up engines. Its hard to say with certainty in that scene if they are pre or post-mod. Of interest is the gas patches on port wing I think I have mentioned before at some point...

    Normally on FAA aircraft and certainly those that operated in the Pacific and Eastern Fleet have the IFF whip on the underside below the cockpit.

    Hi Andy, I’d be interested in a 1/48 sheet. Did you ever find any 85 Sqn Defiant photos? best regards Nick

    Best of luck with it. Avengers are great fun. I have an AM kit to get involved with at some point.

    Yep agree with the above. Certainly the MkI's were the usual British Grey-Green cockpits.

    Hi folks, as Phil said I did an Avenger a while ago. Tony o' Tooles work is good too for some inspiration. Here's mine: An here a thread I started you may find useful: Best regards Nick

    Well done Phil. Lovely!

    Great find, a lot of great photos in there.

    There is so much great stuff in this video: uniforms, shoes, wristwatches. The Army pilot has a Bonklip style strap. All really good to see in colour.

    Wonderful stuff! Well done.

    Awesome. A sqn local to me too at RAF Westhampnett(Goodwood).

    Fantastic. How did you create the scheme?
  14. 85sqn
    Great stuff!

    Really looking forward to this. As said above though, let's hope for a single piece cowling. Having just done a IX I was astonished at how such a sublime kit could be marred by that cowling.

    My dear chap, that is absolutely glorious. Well done!
  17. 85sqn
    Gorgeous!

    Really lovely, I fancy a Greek one too

    Absolutely stonking! Amazing paint job

    Looks like British Commonwealth Training Plan markings straight out of the box!

    What a divine piece of modelling. Well done!

    Vought have made 3 different aircraft called the 'Corsair'
  23. 85sqn
    Great stuff. I was at Maleme earlier this year and have a hankering for one of these! Nick

    The Corsair MKIVs of 1846 had a black and white ringed tailhook. On another note, there is a colour photo showing Seafires with green doped gun ports on a carrier deck. I can't find it at the moment but I know it is on the back of JD Browns book on the Seafire. Just saying......

    I made that aircraft once. I have never seen a photo but found somewhere saying it might have been speculative or from anecdotal evidence.
