MARU5137 14,520 Posted January 20, 2016 Art..thanks..I was simply curious. Max, many a lady during WWII put a lot of hard work doing their bit but oftentimes they are forgotten..MY Aunt M did her bit too making ammo .. while her husband was stationed in North Africa as A LAC ..(he worked on Lancs,Spitfires and many other iconic aircrafts) I applaud your mum and all the the other ladies for their hard and sonetimes strenuous work..

Nose_Art 601 Posted February 2, 2016 Art, Where is that photo of the Aircraft from? Africa or Tunisia ? or in Europe? curious to know ..thank you Maru, Peter Cazenove bellied the spitfire on a sand bar off the beach of Calais, May 24th 1940. 2 MARU5137 and MikeC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nose_Art 601 Posted February 2, 2016 Maru, also you can make out the Phare de Walde light tower in the distance by the prop blade. The circle marks the spot. Calais area, June 1940. Will add a HB spit to the recipe. The Hasegawa spit is in front, with the Hobby Boss behind. 2 MARU5137 and MikeC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nose_Art 601 Posted February 2, 2016 The Hase fuselage with a HobbyBoss rudder. Hasegawa gives us a early and late windshield, and a flat and blown hood, cool! removed the wireless door 2 MARU5137 and MikeC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
