Ditto.. The SAAF Dazzle-Dak is one I'd like to try.. A mate of mine's dad flew it at one point.. And recently written off in a botched landing by a pilot of questionable skills, but apparently and excellent navigator.. But I digress..

I must say that mine isn't going to be yellow!

It's going to be OD/NG with freshly painted D-Day stripes - ready for disgorging paratroops over the Cotentin peninsula!

Edit: I've just found out that the airframe I'm going to replicate was a member of 79th TCS of the 436th TCG and delivered part of the 377th PFA (Parachute Field Artillery) Battalion of the 101st AB Division on the dawn of D-Day.

It was ship #38 of serial #10 and flown by 1st Lt. William K. Watson.

I love all these details, now I just need to find a photo of her!

How much is a kilo of bat sick worth then?

I've read that various bits are misshapen you know the usual put downs by so called experts, but then if 100% accuracy is your thing then you should be making it from tin and fabric and not plaggy eh?

Looks lovely and for the £40 wonderland are knocking them out for its a bargain.
