Aviacom Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 A while back I posted about using the Tamiya Mk IX kit to represent MH434 as she is today, however, after mulling for a few weeks, I’ve finally decided to do her as she was in WW2. Specifically when she was with 222 Squadron on June 6th 1944. What I am having trouble with, is any pictures of her during this period of service. Ive spent the past 3 weeks rabidly ‘Google’ing’ to find pictures, but alas, nothing! (Unless I’m doing something wrong?!) So, I’d like to ask if any of you more knowledgeable guys and girls could possibly help with any said pictures to help me along my way please? Thanks.

Kagemusha Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Here it is. Brengun produce the centreline fuel tank, note the wheels have a blanking plate, someone makes those, though I can't remember who at the moment.

BloorwestSiR Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 The wheels disc covers are included in the Tamiya kit on the PE fret. Carl Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aviacom Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 She had a ‘C’ type or ‘E’ type wing then? That’s the main info I’m looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Did you click on the link provided? You can see from the gun barrel it's a Mk.IXc Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see from the gun barrel it's a Mk.IXc I did yes, there are some very nice pictures on that site, however, not being very clear I couldn’t see if there is/was a second gun ‘stub’ on the wing as well as the cannon.

Aviacom Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 I’m actually beginning to wonder if, on June 6th 1944, if she would have had the full over/under wing and wraparound invasion bands for the D Day Landing missions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
