sniperUK Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Airfix have excelled again with this kit, I didn't use the kit scheme but one from Montex Masks of another Ulster man , this one from the town I grew up in Donaghadee, Frederick Desmond "Hawkeye"Hughes , CBE, DFC 2 bars , AFC etc who ended his career in 1971 as AVM ,AOC Scotland and Northern Ireland. Along with his gunner Ted Gash he was involved in the shooting down of the Goodwin Sands Do17 and in 1941 in charge of B Flt 264 Sqn was sent ,following the Belfast Blitz ,to NI to provide night fighter cover.

Buzby061 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 First class. It's a great kit and large compared to a Spitfire. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Nice build. I like the story behind it as well. John and I built one of these for CFS3. They really are an interesting plane. John was the painter and I did the 3d modeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree - a good back story always adds to the interest and gives a build more character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
