corsaircorp Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Hello Gents !! So, for the ones who know me.... DO NOT expect to peer into the end of the party for these women... Sorry @LorenSharp but... Do not expect either about this one.... But let's go to Hailakandi, India in 1943. Here's my first CBI theatre aircraft 1st Air commando. For the folks who will react about the weathering... I restrain myself on this one... See The thing that has annoyed me is the streaks on the exhaust smudge... I put the U/C before varnish for obtaining the right angle... The ICM kit is a dog of a kit, adjustment is nightmarish, now I added a lot of plastic in it Example, a bulkhead for the radiator... If you don't like the see through model, it's mandatory... interior has been improved and rectified too. Basically, the ICM is a copy of the Accurate kit. But they forget the U/C doors !! 🤬🤬 The Air commando specialize themselves in CAS mission. Saying that they operated in rough conditions is clearly an understatement. The payload is usual for them, fuel tanks given the range they have to cover... And the Bazookas for helping the Chindits... Bazookas were not liked by the pilots because it generate a great drag, but it has some badly needed punch ! Now, the belly of the dame... Paints were Xtracrylics ones Fuel tanks have been modified as per the pics, who clearly show a difference with the usual Mustangs fuel tanks ! Now on for the family pics.

It remains an area of great interest to me. Such a pity it is a difficult area to visit, even before the pangolin pox came calling. Take care over there Tom, you & yours.

No worries, places name can be tricky, North East India is full of History and if one dig up could get some exciting history, I can suggest a FB group which mostly deals on this subject.
