Frenchies in the RAF, 340 French Sqn Spitfire XVI

[Wez]

Well, as I was damn fool enough to suggest this GB, I suppose I better step to the fore!

 

This is a placeholder for my build which will proceed at a glacial pace whilst I continue my studies.

 

My subject is Spitfire XVIe, TB702, GW-Y of 340 (French) Sqn RAF/GC4/2 "Île de France" whilst stationed at Linge-Drope in Germany in April/May 1945 (although one source says as late as July 1945).

 

I'll be using the 1/72nd scale Eduard XVIe Early Overtrees, decals courtesy of Xtradecal.

 

Pictures to follow when I have time.

 

Have fun and welcome everyone.

I might have a change of plan...   ...I have an Arma hobby FM-2 Wildcat coming to me (plus overtrees), I may do that instead.

Patrice,

 

A moment of madness and the excitement that comes with having ordered a new kit.

 

I'm sticking with the original plan as I'm in Spitfire mode and I don't have to do any more research.

Good morning Wez

I hope that you will have enough time to ''build them both'' as our friend Enzo would say ..

Best Regards

There's not a chance of that I'm afraid Patrice, I'm already chancing my arm making this Spitfire and the Mk.22 in the STGB.
