dolphin38 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I built this for a friend, his uncle was a member of the crew of DS813 JI-N and sadly died when this aircraft was lost over France on the 29-07-1944 returning from a bombing mission over Germany. I just hope he will be happy with it when I give it to him. Willy. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
