Operation Firedog Vol.5


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

the fifth batch or my Malayan Emergency aircraft collection, this time transport, all in 1/144

 

Vickers Valetta C.1, Welsh Models kit a bit crude and needing few tweaks:

Bristol Freighter Mk.31, F-Rsin kit, again a bit cruse so few adjustments were needed:

Handley Page Hastings C1A, Welsh Models kit, yet another vacform, lots of cutting, sanding & filling:

Avro York C.1, here I had to cheat a bit as I could not get hold of a kit in 1:144. So I got Corgi die cast and put a new 'Ascalon II' coat on it:

Superb collection of 'Operation Firedog' planes,love every bit of it.Even the local RMAF museum (doesn't exist anymore as the airbase where it was located was bought over by the scandalous 1MDB affair) doesn't have such a collection.

The links to photobox don't seem to work.

hi mate, I intentionally put in the other photos as links only as I didn't want to clutter the post, otherwise it would be a long scroll down :)

Thanks mate, I will soon post the last part and probably do a recap of all Firedog posts as in the first few I struggled with the photo links

The links just take me to the Photobox home page.  Is there something I am missing?

Cheers.  These look good and very reminiscent of the post war period.  I had a flight in the Valetta's cousin, the Varsity, but only ever saw the Hastings in the flesh and your model is a great memory jogger.
