Lawzer 2,816 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Squadron's 100th kill maybe? Link to post Share on other sites
Drift 233 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 That sounds plausible. Link to post Share on other sites
Corsairfoxfouruncle 25,010 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) I was going to say that too or possibly the crews or aircrafts 100th sortie maybe ? Edited October 13, 2017 by Corsairfoxfouruncle Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Proulx 31 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 On May 3, 1944, Kipp/Huletsky claimed four Fw 190's in Black Rufe. Those four victories saw 418 achieve their 100th victory, air and ground combined. Hence, the 100 applied to the nose art of this Mosquito. HTH Mark Proulx 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Marvel Onkey 105 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Four FW-190s in a Mosquito? Were they all destroyed on the ground? If they were destroyed in the air then that's some flying isn't it? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think there are (least a quick search doesn't turn up results) but i've got a couple of sets in 1/48 if you were able to scale down and do your own ones? Link to post Share on other sites
