My latest model, Hans-Joachim Marseilles Bf 109F-4, JG 27, North Africa, February 1942. Pretty pleased with this one, even if the carpet monster did eat some small parts!

Calling this one done, Hasegawa 1/48 Hawker Typhoon, not my best work but many lessons learned.

It’s official, I’m a mask and spray convert! The detail you keep compared to decals is amazing!

Ready for the shelf. Really wanted to add this somewhat unusual 109 scheme to the collection. I find the maple leaf as an insignia to be striking. The late war parts bin look is also appealing.

Basic camo is done. Started brush painting the Ocean Grey areas with thin acrylics to get the look I want.

After the sawn off DAC, I think I'll continue the less trodden paths.
Thus up next, the early war Nakajima Ki-27b, aka IJA Type 97 Fighter, aka 'Nate'.

You can watch John Flintoff tell his story of getting shot down and, as he insisted to his friends, force landed and not crash landed!
John would spend six weeks on the run and was helped by the Dutch to get back over the Rhine and return to 440 Sqn.
