    This one says it's 1900x 1080, but I think it will still come out small !

    Nice shots Lemonadedrinker. I assume its the Alphasim model. I thought it was absolutely fantastic when the Halifax package was released, and still its a very nice model.

    Cheers,

    Hi,
    Thank you, Huub, for your nice comment!
    It is indeed the Alphasim version
    It certainly is a good model, even though quite old now I guess; instrumentation is a bit sparse which is why I put in an easier to use radio, autopilot and HSI, also added pitot and de-icer switches and a trim wheel. Next week I am fitting an armchair and a pipe rack as further aids to comfort.

    Andy.

    Catalina "fire eater"

    Hallo Huub,
    error, it is the good old Catalina fron Alphasim, I believe her to be the best Catalina for FS2004,
    much better than Mike Stone's one
    I'm working on a bit more real panel for her.
    Now I tell you her name "Fire Eater" - do you remember
    where she played a role?
    Yours
    Papi

    The French ace Pierre Le Gloan was already a experienced and respected pilot before the war started. He made his first kills during the "Phoney war". When the Germans invaded he was active at the Nothern front where he scored several victories. His unit was withdrawn of the front and moved to the South where his unit was to be re-equipped with the best French fighter at the moment the Dewoitie D520.

    At that moment the Italians invaded France as well, which took France in a two front war. Le Gloan's unit was in the ideal position to counter this attack. Before the armistice Le Gloan scored seven victories, from which five on June 15.

    After the armistice his unit moved to Syria and Lebanon, which were French colonies. Suddenly his unit were facing RAF fighter. During the summer of 1941 he shot down six RAF fighters. After the Allied invasion of North Afrika, many French refused to fight the Allied. Le Gloan was one of them and his unit was converted to the P-39 Airacobra.

    On September 11th 1943 whilst flying a two aircraft patrol off the coast of Algeria, Capitaine Le Gloan ‘s P-39 developed engine problems and he turned for home, his engine trailing smoke. His engine failed and he attempted to carry out a forced landing in the vicinity of Ouillis. With fuel still present in the belly tank of his fighter, the aircraft exploded on contact with the ground and Le Gloan was killed instantly.


    Remembered as a brilliant pilot and natural aviator, Pierre Le Gloan’s successes for both sides of the largest air conflict of all time make him unique in the annals of aviation history.

    I have painted his Dewoitine as it must have looked on 15 June 1940. I did not add too much weathering as the aicraft had just been delivered to the unit. It has airframe number 277 which means it was produced after 10 May.

    In the Aviation and Space museum at Le Bourget there a D520 on display in these colours.

    Cheers,
    Huub

    Not many warbirds are as colourful as those from the Vichy-French...

    Must admit I had to get Ginger to knock up an extra fuel tank with some of those natty cans the Jerries always seem to have with them for the Tamanrasset to Timbuktu then onto Khartoum legs.



    not a lot to see... more sand than Blackpool!

    Anyways I'm now made it to Pafos Aerodrome on Aphrodite's Isle; and once Ginger and Algy catch up (they're somewhere on a ship crossing the Med' ) ; Ginger has said he's got some natty floats to fit to the kite, so I can then go island hopping round the Peleponese.

    They don't need to be dirty......

    The Mustang IV "Dooleybird" flown by Flight Lieutenant Arthur "Joe" Doley of 19 Squadron. Most probably the most famous P51 in RAF service. Funny as the aircraft only became famous when it was released as a 1:72 scale plastic model kit by Matchbox.

    The Mustang was the only RAF single-engine fighter with the range to escort Mosquitoes and Beaufighters from Scotland to Norway on anti-shipping strikes. During the Winter/Spring of 1945, Flight Lieutenant Doley's log books record 12 such sorties over the North Sea, each lasting up to five and a quarter hours.

    He quite regularly flew the QV-V KM272 between May 1945 and January 1946.

    The model is the Shockwave/WOP/A2A Mustang from the WWII fighters package. I have no idea whether this repaint has already been done and please note that most of what you see is John "Bomber_12th" Terrell's excellent paintkit.

    Cheers,
    Huub

    Ah Matchbox kits, I made quite a few of those when I was a lad - happy days. I never made this actual kit but I sure remember seeing it on the shelves. The box-top art was almost as good Airfix's

    I will keep an eye out for the posting of this repaint for sure.
