Rgards J-W I'm not sure, but in some article I met a mention that on the white "4" the insignia were painted over. So I glued them on and then painted them over. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jackson Duvalier 858 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Lovely model. Is that the one Robert Scott flew over Everest? If you were to pantograph this one down to 1/72 I'd buy one. FYI/BTW. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Wellborn. Work on 1/72 is already underway 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
28ZComeback 364 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) I read that Wellborn was flying his P-43A with Chinese markings. Looking for the reference. Does the kit provide decals for Wellborn’s ship? Thank you and this is an impressive kit!! Edited December 26, 2020 by 28ZComeback Link to post Share on other sites

After consulting with an American colleague who has a good archive of the war in China, we came to the conclusion that this plane belonged to Wellborn. @replicant Sure, no problem. I think it is better to discuss it in personal messages. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
112 Squadron 228 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Nice to see a P-43! The weathering is subtle and well done. I am looking forward to adding the 1/72 model kit to my collection as soon as it is released and I will definitely build it as a 23FG plane as well.
