Hi all,
This is a model that has been a long time in the making, not so much the kit but the research. My dad never recorded the full details of any of the Thunderbolts he flew in Burma,(or any others for that matter) which ment making an accurate model a very tricky prospect, but I've now got copys of the ORB's and Sqn records of 79 and 34 Sqn's for the time he was with them. I now have full details of all but one of his T-Bolts, the one missing is the last one he flew out of Burma, all I know is it was coded 'B'. Any way back to this one, I was trying to decide which one to build, so I plumped for this one, as you will see from the log book entry it's the one he was flying when V-J day was declared. It's the Tamiya kit, brush painted which was a bit of a chalang as I wanted to make it look well worn and tatty.
Thanks for looking
John
