Brad Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Another Tamiya kit and it's pretty good. From start to finish it took me about a week. This aircraft was flown by Karl Hier in 1/JG 76 and fell into French hands on November 22 1939. It was given to the RAF in May 1940 and ended up being flown by 1426 Enemy Aircraft Flight at its establishment. Sent to Wright Field in the USA, it crashed on November 3rd 1942. All the decals were from my spares box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 That is so nice & very inspirational. I've an Airfix Bf109E & Rising decals for this, just need to get A into G & this might just be the impetous I need, thanks for showing it. Steve.

king daddy Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 nice kit by the way....but didn't enemy aircraft flight or enemy aircraft establishment have a painted big letter 'p' with a yellow circle on the aircraft ?? (this isn't a dig by the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(this isn't a dig by the way) No, you're right, most did carry that marking, but from all the pics I've seen 479 didn't. I can only presume that as she was captured before 1426 EAF was established, they just never bothered with it when it was passed to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 The prototype P markings did not come into being until later in 1941, thus post dating much of the period when the RAF had this machine. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
