Hi folks. This is my first WiP thread, so you'll have to excuse me if it gets a bit calamitous and the pics are average at best. I've recently finished a couple of 1/48 WW1 builds, so time for something different. Without setting out to do it, I've been slowly and randomly building types, or specific airframes if possible, that can be found in Scotland's National Museum of Flight at East Fortune. An old WW1 airfield with a great history, my two boys and I spend lots of time there. It can't rival the big museums down south, but it's got some interesting types and has been modernised lately. They have a De Havilland Dh.104 Dove in Civil Aviation Authority colours (G-ANOV) which I'm fond of: So I bought the Amodel kit with the intention to create this scheme: Imagine my excitement then when Caracal released two sheets for the Dove/Devon which included a CAA sister (G-ALFU) as housed at Duxford. Although there are some differences between them, it'll do me 😊 Imagine my annoyance then when the upper stripe decals turn out to be blue and not black as they should be 😡. I pondered doing a different scheme instead, but non grabbed me and that was the whole reason for building it at all. I can live with the blue. I've made a start, but I'll try to keep the posts in some semblance of logical order. Here we go then... W-D
