It is about time I started a WIP instead of looking, dreaming of building a model and picking on "Bill the Butcher" a.k.a Navy Bird. With all my banter about Bill's missfortune I went and stabbed myself with a knife and a lot of claret escaped, serves me right for being a dork. I am going to butcher AZmodels Grumman Martlet Mk.1/G.36. So let us have a look at the bits. I wanted to do a G.36 but found very few reference photos especially for the fuselage guns. Boxart Masks My start, No you won't find any blood on these bits it is on the wings and I wiped it off. The parts go together well so far although the engine placement seems to be a bit hairy. Thanks for looking. Stephen

I think this link might be useful and interesting; I was looking for BPF Wildcat schemes and discovered this website. Not a ship guy, but I found this a very interesting read and a wonderful photo chronicle of life aboard an RN escort aircraft carrier. Attacker was evidently built on a C3 merchant hull, and was originally to be named USS Barnes in USN service, but was transferred to the RN under lend Lease. A very active ship that saw a lot of action- a shame she couldn't have been preserved as an example of her class. I hope you enjoy looking at the photos.
