Hasegawa 1/32 kit
Neville Duke went to my school so this my tribute build to him
for those not familiar, he was the highest scoring Allied ace of North Africa and the Med
he was also quite a 'chap' - he kept a diary which is like a cross between a comic book and Lord Flashheart in Blackadder - well worth a read:
Neville Duke Diaries
to be converted to 4 gun 'early' model - not a great pics but enough to go on
thing to note:
- to be converted to 4 gun 'early' model
- middlestone and dark earth top side, with serial kept over small dark green patch
- dark green behind rear window
- US attempt at Sky underside - discussed here on Hyperscale:
AK578 discussion etc
- would almost certainly have had canvas covers in wheel wells, but CMK parts are about 1-2mm too small so beyond me to get them to look right
- yellow strips on wing leading edges
- would have Sutton seatbelt i believe
- I have Barracuda decals but may not use (they fail to identify 4 guns, sky undersides etc)
- custom masks will probably be used
I am currently half way through but will post some WIP pics which i have taken along the way
cheers,
Nick
