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
