Hi Let say it is finished - My number three of planned five belonging to "mass production of Hawker Hart family" ( After Egyptian Avro 674 and Persian (radial) Hart I made Hart Trainer in markings of 4 FTS RAF, Habbaniya, May 1941. Basicly this is a scratch conversion from Avis/Amodel Hart model (Amodel 72240). I have copied in resin pilot cockpit, changed wing slope, blinded side windows and half-pipe for gun, added ventilation pannel on nose (the most problematic part...), blinded the hatch from behind (EDIT: added new exhaust) and made new struts between wings. I made some some crosskitting here as well - lower wings are from AZ Audax - since they do not have any support points. The A-model lower wings I used for a radial Hart. Initially I was thinking on using rudders from AZ kits, but after more carefully studies I made Hart Trainer (and also Hector and Hertbeeste, which are under preparation) with Amodel rudders. EZ riggings added. K4900 was sometimes presented as "black 4" but for me the comparison between black serial and red middle of roundel against shadow of gray of "4" suggests, that it was rather "red four". http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234984588-habbaniya-hawker-hart-trainer-details/ She looks like that: And here just to show difference in wing slope, against Persian Hart (radial): Comments welcome Regards Jerzy-Wojtek- 10 replies

Hi, Following post with Airspeed Oxford from 4th FTS, Habbaniya 1941 during Iraqi revolt (upraising?) I want to show two opponents of Britts: Northrop A 17 of Iraq Air Forces and Messerschmitt Bf 110 of Martin Drewers from Luftwaffe "volunteers group" (or expedition) . I made the model of Iraqi A 17 (required scratch conversion from US A-17 Nomad, so some work...) before MPM/SH issued their version of A 17 from Iraq...- I was following an article on Iraqi airforces - as fas as I remember from Air International (???). I have perhaps to dig out for it - what exactly it was?. Anyway - the A 17 identical to this article profile is also presented on Wing Palette. For sure my Iraqi insignia at least from bottom on wings are too small - if I will get some bigger ones - I will replace them. Similar problem is with Bf 110 D of Martin Drewers - I have chosen version of markings that it was a gray camo with sand overpainted insignia...The kit was Italeri, only a bit upgrated (with coolers). If someone can explain - what is present state of the art in oppinions how Bf 110 should look like? - I will appreciate it. You konw this Latin phrase on Plato and the truth. I would like to know the truth, even if it will hurt... Please have a look and comment. And perhaps enjoy - a little. Regards Jerzy-Wojtek Northrop: And Messerschmitt:
