Bell209 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Here's my latest completion, Douglas Bader's mount from the end of the BoB. Almost from the box, I only added Xtradecals decals (DB's aircraft wasn't in the kit and my Italeri kit only had McKnight's aeroplane), Aviology stencils, seatbelts and mirror from Airwaves and rigging wire. I also made the footstep-operating handhold cover from a piece of etched brass. All paints are Model Master enamels. Build is at: Just realised looking at the photos that the mirror's disappeared - I'll have to find that or replace it. The exhaust staining isn't as pronounced as I'd intended but I'm reasonably happy with this overall. Bader apparently said the Hitler boot logo was on both sides of his aircraft but there's no photos of that side and I was unable to get another decal, anyway. Comments and critique welcome.

Bell209 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Thanks, gents. Found the mirror and attached it. I'm sure it will come off again as it transits to Canberra with the removalists...🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
