PanzerWomble

The colours look on point for post war RAF to me , the DSG and EDSG are tricky as contemporary colour pics tend to show them more blue than they are, but thats more down to the film at the time .

Meanwhile in the US ..

This sums up Mrs Womble perfectly ....

Built ours a new picnic table as the old one was falling apart

Nice nose job, can't see the join Glad you had success with lifecolor paint, they never worked well for me , couldn't get a thinning ratio I was happy with .

Love Hunters , thats turning out nicely Kevin

Crazy mad good ! Can I ask Big needle & low pressure for the lacquer ? 0.5 I'm guessing based on 1:1 painting .

Toning down the rivets worked well , 👍

So to answer your question Carl , yes it needed a bit of clamping and CA , I think the front was slightly warped ... First some weight in case it decided to tailsit Mind da gap Is all closed up and played ball Cue some tunes .... Everyone gets everything he wants. I wanted a chopper, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice helo, and when it was over, I never wanted another

That looks like RAF Harrowbeer in Devon to me , very distinctive dispersal pits . I can't say for sure but 131 Sdn were there March -May 1944 .

Oooh, unrelated saw some BUFFS and a Bone at Fairford today . My mate reckoned 'BUFFS and Bones' sounds like a bad 1990's boy band .
