A P-40 of the 15th Pursuit Group attempting to take off from Wheelers Field as a Zero
from Akagi swoops in to give him the good news!

Kits by Airfix (both highly recommended :grin: ), Decals are a mixture of kit, spare & home made.
More images in Gallery.

And just for Dirk my next effort will be:

Not sure what scheme it will be but all Mustangs look the same right? :ha:

Terrific build, O-T.

Very nice. And done the hard way, not like us amateurs getting both kits in the same box-and a stand! ;-)

The duo came out brilliant. Well done my Spitfire friend. :ha:

Nice choice of kit for the Mustang. I haven't built this kit myself but I've built other Academy kits and on the whole they are fantastic kits. The decals on the other hand can be a challenge. Thick as cardboard. :frown:

One good turn deserves another. Once I somewhat caught up and finish my Daimler Benz Spitfire I'll return the gesture and build another Spit. I have a few paint schemes I want to do. ;-)

Thanks for participating in this GB OT!! 8-)
