  1. Reaching out to this great community of scale modellers with a challenging question. I'm working on working on a scheme for an Airspeed Oxford which was flown by the US Navy Anti Submarine Squadron while in the UK. It was not used for training but as a "communications aircraft". I've found a scheme used by Commander Squadron of 94 Combat Bomber Wing, 8th Airforce, England and am wondering if this scheme would be relevant for all services. Coincidentally, Ive seen the same scheme used by the British too.
  2. Hi, The Iraqi revolt in 1941 is a a bit forgotten episode of WWII which in fact could be a turning point if it. Just think - what will happend if it would go other way. Imagine - immediately after conquesting Greece, nazi Germans would get control on pratically whole Middle East. Since Syria and Lebaon were alredy on their side as Vichy controlled territory - then they will be able to get easily Caucasian oil fields without war with Soviets - and ME oil as wel, since in Iran there was a lot of symphaty to Germansl. So - if this small war went this way as it went - it was also a turning point, definitely..."The hidden victory" .... - in my country completly forgotten. Therefore i wanted to do some models, which commemorate this conflict. First was Airspeed Oxford - a true hero of this action - a second liner, trainer or transport machine converted "ad hoc" to a colonial bomber. I made this model in 2005. I was trying to do P1945. I know now, that there are photos of this machine, but I did not get them. I made the model regarding just description. Actually - initially I did it following the the picture on the cover of the book "The hidden victory" - so with black D insted of red E. Then I converted to "double grey D" following the decals of one Czech company and finally, I've learnt that she should be "red E" painted on the nose from BM WWII forum.... (I made a post on this yesterday on WWII forum BM) Please have a look and comment - if I guess correctly how it looked like? Regards Jerzy-Wojtek
  3. I've got a bunch of Pavla kits in my stash. Every time I feel like a long, slow, arduous and excruciatingly painful building process I pull one out and take a good long time to build it. *LOL* This one took me, off and on, about 2 years - even though I still have to drop the aerial on the top of the fuselage I am calling it "DONE" - what a royal pain these kits are (at least for me) - BUT the good part is you learn a lot about modeling and what skills you need to work on and practice and you also learn a lot about patience :grin: Lots of issues with this one - the landing/wing light clear cover should be better fitted (but I can't be bothered - it's that type of kit), I should have sanded down the trailing edges a LOT. I should have been far more careful in my sanding/filling (that is what this is supposed to be about, practicing that stuff) and my thinning/PSI needs work in order for the paint to sit nicely and not get orange peel. That said though, I'm happy to be completed with this one mainly because, aww heck, I love the paint scheme. I didn't think I would be able to mask it effectively but it seemed to be done decently and the Xtracrylix paints matched up nicely to the Xtradecal sheet (I would hope so!!). It's given me confidence in masking more difficult schemes in the future. I wonder just how much better the AZ Model version of these old Pavla moulds will be. . . . Cheers, Dave
