Brad Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Formerly on 1/JG 7, yellow 17 was captured by 616 Squadron at Fassberg at wars end. It was ferried to the UK where it was designated Air Min 52 and brefily evaluated until being sold off to Canada. It was scrapped with 300 odd other surplus aircraft in Canada in 1947. The kit is the very nice Tamiya 1/48 offering with Cutting Edge decals. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true - what was it Joni Mitchell sang... "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
