TimHepplestone 788 Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Lovely build and lovely job on the faded olive drab camo . I have the same kit in my stash waiting to be done. Was also going to Lulu belle just because the plane and pilots are part of such a great history . I have read that Eduard got one thing wrong in they the letters “ Lule Belle” were yellow and not white as per the Eduard decals. Can anyone confirm it this is true? Link to post Share on other sites

Can anyone confirm it this is true? There are no color photos to “prove” it, but our research indicated to us that it most assuredly was not white. It was our research that lead to the conclusion that the insignias were outlined in blue as well (based on personal emails). Eduard, ahem..., seems to have borrowed from us. In any event, a very nicely done model! Gorgeous paint work. Edited October 19 by Jennings Heilig Link to post Share on other sites
