CedB Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Italeri 1/72 Mk IX built with the Airfix as a two model build, WiP here. MH526 ‘City of Glasgow’. Air History shows her built in August ’43, transferring to 602 Sqn in September. Flown by Pierre Clostermann who should be commemorated I feel. Bravo Bravo Aviation says: "With 33 aerial victories, Pierre Clostermann DFC & Bar is France's ace of aces in World War II. He described his wartime experiences in his best-selling memoirs Le Grand Cirque (The Big Show)." Lifecolor paints, airbrushed, W&N matt varnish.

CedB Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Spitfire PR XI EN 409 I was re-reading Eric 'Winkle' Brown's 'Wings on My Sleeve' after his recent passing. A sad loss, but his contribution to aviation is well known and he leaves a great legacy. Winkle recalls that the PR XI they used for high speed research, "stripped of all operational equipment", achieved Mach 0.92 - still "the highest ever achieved by a piston engined aircraft". This is discussed further here. Here is my attempt at the MPM 1/72 kit, mostly OOB build with Xtradecal roundels and Ventura serials, Vallejo Model Air PRU Blue and W&N Satin varnish.

Stew Dapple Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 This is the 1/72 new-tool Kovozavody Prostejov Spitfire IIB - a very nice kit, not quite as easy a build as the Airfix Mk.I but better in some ways - in any case the KP kit is the only game in town if you want a Mk.Ib or a IIb and highly recommended if you want a Vb. I used the Peewit masks designed for the kit and replaced the kit guns with some Master brass cannons - there was nothing wrong with the kit supplied ones but I had the Master barrels in the stash and it seemed a good opportunity to try them out. The markings are one of the kit options for a 616 Squadron aircraft based at Kirton in Linsdsey in the autumn of 1941 - a presentation aircraft titled "Rochdale and District 2" (being the second of two purchased by the locality); I liked the combination of the 'new' camouflage scheme with the 'old' national markings. The AZ kit has the same decal option and notes the pilot as Pilot Officer Alan Hodgkinson but I cannot find any further information about either the aircraft or the pilot. Usual rambling build thread is here. Thanks to all who participated - here is the end result: Cheers, Stew 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
