Hi folks,

The build articles, among the others, will be featured in Valiant Wings Airframe Extra No.4 dedicated to Operation Judgement that is due December.

More stunning examples of your craftsmanship, Libor! Love your boots! :)

I'm curious, though - did the British refer to the bomber as the Glenn 167F? I would have thought it was called a Martin Maryland.

Cheers,

Bill

Those are lovely builds - especially the Swordfish which looks beautiful and the demarcation pattern looks spot on for K8393. However, the undersurfaces should be Sky-Grey, not Sky on Patch's aircraft.

Hi Libor,

I really like these builds and I appreciate your hard work that has been put into them :goodjob: The rigging on the Swordfish is wonderful - I wish I could achieve the same results. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us, kind regards Colin.
