He joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in July 1941, and the British Royal Air Force No 133 Eagle Squadron in 1942. During this time he was credited with the destruction of 2 enemy aircraft in aerial combat. Gentile was commissioned a 2LT in the U.S. Army Air Forces on September 15, 1942, when the Eagle Squadrons were absorbed into the 4th Fighter Group in England. He was assigned to the 336th Fighter Squadron of the 4th FG and managed to destroy another 19.83 enemy aircraft in the air plus 7 more in ground strafing runs before he returned to the United States in May 1944. This gave him 21.83 total air victories during World War II. After participating in War Bond tours, he was assigned as a Test Pilot at Wright Field, Ohio, where he served until April 16, 1946, when he was honorably discharged. Capt Gentile was recalled to active duty on December 6, 1946 and served as a Plans and Training Officer in the Fighter Gunnery Program until September 1948. He attended the Air Tactical School from September 1948 to June 1949, and then received an Air Force Institute of Technology assignment to the University of Maryland to complete his degree. Maj Gentile was killed in the crash of a T-33 Shooting Star on January 28, 1951, near Andrews AFB, Maryland. Gentile Air Force Station in Kettering, Ohio, was named in his honor in 1962.</span></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 14px; text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>His 1st (of 2) Distinguished Service Cross Citation reads:</b><br />
<i>"For extraordinary heroism in action against the enemy, 8 March 1944. On this date Captain Gentile, while leading a section of Fighter aircraft on a bomber escort mission to targets in the vicinity of Berlin, Germany, saw a flight of bombers being attacked by approximately fifty enemy fighters. With only his wing man as support and without regard to the overwhelming odds against him, Captain Gentile immediately attacked the enemy formation and by extremely courageous flying and skilful gunnery destroyed three enemy planes and broke up the threat against the bombers. Continuing with his wing man, they destroyed three more enemy fighters. By this time the wing man had expended his ammunition and Captain Gentile's supply was very low. Despite this fact, they picked up a straggling bomber and escorted it to friendly territory. Captain Gentile's outstanding courage and determination to destroy the enemy on this occasion set an example of heroism which will be an inspiration to the Armed Forces of the United States.”</i></span></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: center;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><b>Modifications to the kit:</b></span></span></p><ul>

Intensive tests followed by demonstration flights at combat units convinced both veterans and commanders of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force that their most recent “acquisition” was a truly fantastic aircraft – the fulfilment of every fighter pilot’s dreams.</span></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 14px; text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The North American P-51C-11-NT Mustang with registration number 44-10816 (manufactured at the Dallas plant in Texas as 111-28949) was the personal aeroplane of First Lieutenant Oliver E. Strawbridge. At the turn of 1945, the fighter was stationed in China with the 26th Fighter Squadron, itself an element of the 51st Fighter Group. The unit’s combat trail had started in India and proceeded through Burma and China, ending in French Indochina, a territory that comprised present-day Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.</span></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: center;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>“EVALINA” Ends up in Japanese hands</b></span></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In truth, the circumstances of the incident have still not been fully clarified. We do know that on 16 January 1945 the pilot landed “Evalina” on the Chinese airfield of Suchin, which was still held by the Japanese. While the Americans concluded that this was the result of a navigational error, Japanese sources mention an emergency landing – and then muddle the story still further. Namely, some maintain that the aircraft belly-landed in a rice paddy near the base, but according to others the fighter made a normal landing necessitated by a technical fault.</span></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 14px; text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Practically all historians reject the former version of events, logically assuming that Japanese ground crews would have been incapable of repairing damage sustained by an Allied fighter during a wheels up landing made in difficult terrain (especially as there are no extant documents suggesting that such repairs had actually been performed). This would appear to be supported by the fact that later, when “Evalina’s” tail wheel leg suffered only slight damage, it was simply left locked in the down position. Whatever the case may have been, the chance acquisition of a virtually brand-new and fully functional Mustang was a godsend to the IJAAF. It was no surprise, therefore, that the aircraft was collected and flown to Japan, where it underwent detailed testing, by one of the leading aces of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force – Major Kuroe.</span></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 8px; text-align: center;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>The Riddle of “EVALINA”</b></span></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The final act of our story took place several dozen years after the end of the war. In the nineteen eighties and nineties, growing interest in the wartime activities of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force led to the publication of numerous press articles and monographs. “Evalina” also became rather widely known, both among World War II history buffs and modellers.</span></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Strangely – albeit in a sense logically – it was taken for granted that since the aircraft had been regularly flown by Oliver E. Strawbridge, he must have been the leading protagonist of the whole unfortunate event. Whereas… Around the mid-nineties, First Lieutenant Strawbridge’s granddaughter, Sara, finally shed some light on the riddle. Namely, she stated that although she had never met her grandfather (due to family reasons), she knew with absolute certainty that he had not been the pilot of the Mustang on that fateful day of 16 January. Furthermore, she informed that her grandfather had served in the USAAF until the very end of the conflict and had never been a Japanese POW. From what she recollected, he had died in 1987 in the USA. The name given to the aircraft, “Evalina”, was that of his then girlfriend. Their love fizzled out, however, and after the war First Lieutenant Strawbridge married a woman by the names of Ruth Anne.</span></span></p><p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 2px; text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The topic was taken up by a few historians, with the renowned Henry Sakaida first and foremost among them. Finally, it was determined that the Mustang had been piloted by First Lieutenant Sam McMillan, Strawbridge’s friend from the 26th Fighter Squadron. Captured and imprisoned by the Japanese, he survived the war and returned home. When this research was being conducted, First Lieutenant McMillan was still alive, living in his hometown in Connecticut. However, due to his age and state of health, he did not assist in clarifying the circumstances of the incident. Sakaida published his conclusions in “Flight Journal” magazine sometime around the year 2000 (although it would seem that they are not widely known today).

In the first months of the war the squadron adopted an operational alert status, absorbed new personnel and intensified its training, prior to being identified to accompany the 6th Division of the Second AIF overseas as an attached army co-operation squadron.<br />
<br />
Leaving its aircraft behind, 3 Squadron sailed from Sydney on 15 July 1940. Arriving in Egypt on 23 August 1940, the squadron was placed under the command of the Royal Air Force's Middle East Command and organised a three flight army co-operation squadron: two flights were equipped with Gloster Gauntlet and Gladiator fighters and the third with Westland Lysander utility aircraft. It commenced active operations in support of British Commonwealth land operations in the Western Desert on 3 November 1940.<br />
<br />
During the next four and a half years, 3 Squadron became one of the most active squadrons in the RAAF, quickly becoming a jack-of-all-trades. In addition to the conventional reconnaissance and ground attack roles of an army co-operation squadron, it defended ground forces and bombers from enemy aircraft, and conducted strikes against enemy shipping. The squadron was involved in the first Allied campaign in Libya between November 1940 and April 1941, and played a critical role in the invasion of Syria in June and July 1941. In September 1941 it returned to the see-sawing war in North Africa, which finally ended with the defeat of the Axis forces in Tunisia in May 1943. Operating from Malta initially, the squadron supported Allied operations in Sicily between July and August 1943. Sicily was a stepping-stone to Italy, which became 3 Squadron's principal area of operations for the rest of the war. <br />
<br />
3 Squadron's original aircraft had been replaced by Hawker Hurricanes by January 1941, but for most of the war its principal workhorse was the Curtis P-40, with which it was first equipped in May 1941. Two successive variants of the P-40, known as Tomahawks and Kittyhawks, were employed by the squadron before they were finally replaced by North American P-51 Mustangs in November 1944. In Italy, the squadron adorned its aircraft with a southern cross painted on the rudder, a practice which has been continued by more modern incarnations of 3 Squadron to the current day.<br />
<br />
3 Squadron's war was brought to an end by the surrender of German forces in Italy on 2 May 1945. Since November 1940, the squadron had been responsible for shooting down 217 - enemy aircraft, making it the highest scoring British Commonwealth squadron in the Mediterranean theatre of operations. It destroyed another 29 aircraft on the ground in addition to 709 motor vehicles, 28 water vessels of varying sizes, and 12 locomotives. The squadron sailed from Egypt for home on 27 September 1945 and was disbanded at Point Cook in Victoria on 30 July 1946. 3 Squadron was, however, destined to reform in 1948.</span></p><p style="font-family: Times; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;"></span><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: justify;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.3px;"><b>Modifications to the kit:</b></span></p><ul>

<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">There are plenty of versions to chose from for the Pucará during the Falklands war, however I decided to model the A-511 after reading the account below from the book The Pucará Story, Mushroom White Series 9121, by Ricardo Caballero and Phil Cater. Mushroom Model Publications, 2013.</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><i>"Premier Teniente Juan Micheloud in A-533, and Mayor Carlos Tomba in A-511 engaged in a rocket attack on an observation post which had been directing naval gunfire from HMS Ardent against Condor/Darwin, but while seeking further targets, they were detected by HMS Brilliant’s radar controllers, and jumped by three Sea Harriers from 801 NAS on a nearby Combat Air Patrol - Lt Steve Thomas in XZ456/008, Lt Alisdair Craig in his first CAP in XZ495/003, and Lt Cdr “Sharkey" Ward, leading the trio in XZ451/006.</i></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><i>Micheloud escaped into a low valley, but Tomba’s aircraft was attacked simultaneously by the two Sea Harriers flown by Thomas and Craig, though their cannon fire fell short. A-511 was then hit by 30mm cannon fire from Ward’s Sea Harrier. This attack set the starboard engine ablaze, and severely damaged the outer wing. The two other Sea Harriers also missed on their next pass, but a second ground level attack by Lt Cdr Ward again found its mark, this time hitting the port engine, setting that on fire and shattering the rear canopy. A third cannon attack by the other pair still missed, and it was only on a final pass that the Pucará was finally downed by the guns of Lt Cdr Ward, his shells setting the fuselage ablaze and scattering debris from the doomed aircraft. Mayor Tomba, showed great determination to fly on, despite being raked with cannon fire, only ejecting at extremely low altitude at the last possible moment. He parachuted near the wreckage, which had pancaked into the ground and broken up, its munitions exploding, while Ward’s Sea Harrier briefly circled above. Tomba then made his way to an abandoned house, and was later picked up by a Bell 212 of Grupo 7, and returned to Goose Green/BAM Condor. There, nine days later, he became a POW when the airfield and settlement fell to 2 Para on 30th May 1982.</i></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><i>Tomba later volunteered his services as an interpreter for the wounded Argentinian casualties being treated at the field hospital at Ajax bay, thereby helping to save life and limb - much to the gratitude of Surgeon Commander Rick Jolly. It was from him that Tomba learned of the high regard which the Sea Harrier pilots had for him in tenaciously staying with his aircraft under such intense fire - Sharkley Ward passing on a message exclaiming he was thrilled that Tomba was “alive, well and useful…!”</i></p>

<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The account about was crucial to determine the ordnance (LAU-3 rocket launcher) that I chose to equip the model.</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><b>Modifications to the kit:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Separated the 1 piece canopy in order to display it opened .</li>
<li style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">4 x LAU-3 Rocket launcher (Hasegawa 1/72 scale Aircraft Weapons: 1 - US Bombs & Rocket Launchers, #X72-1).</li>
<li style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Scratch-built wing positioning lights.</li>
<li style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Scratch-built landing lights on the wings pylons. </li>
<li style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">Camouflage colour scheme: I wasn’t able to find a photo of A-511, however, according to the book The Pucará Story , Mushroom White Series 9121, by Ricardo Caballero and Phil Cater . Mushroom Model Publications, 2013 - Chapter 6: Camouflages and Markings and Notes for Modellers, on the table at pages 104 & 105 - Table for Ultimate 1982 Colour Guide, the Federal Standard (FS) suggested for A-511 are the same suggested for aircraft A-532 (which there is photo evidence). So I based on the available photo for A-532 to determine the right colours. I used the kit instructions as reference for the camouflage pattern. The anti-aircraft recognition panels (yellow markings) were included. In the kit instruction it does not show the yellow panel under the wing, which is a mistake from the instructions since it was the current procedure for the panel painting and present on the photo for A-532.</li>
</ul>

I used Tamiya XF-13 thinned with Tamiya paint retarder (1:1) and applied with a fine pointed brush. </p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(69, 69, 69); color: #454545; font-family: "open sans", verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">I firstly drawn how I wanted the rings formats based on my references photos using watercolour pencils and then I brush painted over it. Using the watercolour pencils allowed me to correct any shape which might be wrong (just smudge it using a cotton bud moistured in water), before committing with the paint brush.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is my latest build, an armour for a change after so many years after my last armour built.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The kit is the now ancient Italeri in 1/35th scale of the Schwimmwagen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The kit was the most accurate and detailed back in the days. However, it now shows its age as we have new tools released. The worst thing about this kit is the amount of flash you need to clean up in every single part, and it's boring time consuming. I decided to go for an easy out of the box building and see what I can get from it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The construction of the kit is pretty straight forward apart from the boredom of cleaning up the parts, some very fragile and requiring extra care.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've painted the interior wood floor with my usual technique of painting first with a BUFF color, simulating the wood grains with watercolour pencils on wood colours and finishing it with clear coat tinted with Clear Yellow very diluted and several applications to build up the desired shade. The interior was painted with a base colour of Tamiya XF-63. I usually switched between XF-63 German Grey and XF-24 Dark Grey to create some contrast between various parts.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I had a little bit of issue with gaps when I glued the top to the Botton part of the hull, but was easily fixed with plastic putty. The rest of the building was pretty much following the instructions. Decals applied directly over the paint without clear coat and settle with Micro Set and Sol decal solutions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So I started with the weathering. I basically used Pastel Chalks finely grated, watercolour pencils and oils. I applied with mineral spirits as fixing agent.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hans “Assi” Hahn was born on 14 April 1914 at Gotha in Thüringen. A gifted athlete, Hahn was selected to participate in the Summer Olympic Games in Berlin to compete in the Pentathlon. Unfortunately, he had to withdraw due to illness. Hahn enlisted in the army on 1 April 1934 as an officer candidate in the Infanterie-Regiment 14. He received promotion to the rank of Unteroffizier on 1 December. He attended the Kriegsschule at München from January to October 1935. On 1 October, Hahn was promoted to the rank of Oberfähnrich. In November, Hahn transferred from the infantry to the Luftwaffe. He underwent pilot training at Celle. On 1 April 1936, Hahn was promoted to the rank of Leutnant. Following pilot training, he was posted to 4./JG 134, based at Werl near Dortmund, on 15 April. On 1 November 1937, Hahn was transferred to a new Jagdfliegerschule at Werneuchen as a flight instructor and Staffelführer of 1. Staffel. He received promotion to the rank of Oberleutnant on 1 February 1939 and was transferred to the Stabstaffel of I./JG 3, based at Meseburg. Oberleutnant Hahn transferred to JG 2 on 11 October 1939. He was assigned to newly formed II./JG 2, based at Zerbst, which was formed using the nucleus of personnel from I./JG 3 and I./JG 2. On 15 December, he was appointed Staffelkapitän of 4./JG 2. Moving West, Hahn claimed his first two victories on 14 May 1940, during the Battle of France, over RAF Hurricane fighters in his first engagement with enemy aircraft. However, only one of his claims was confirmed. Hahn would claim a total of five confirmed victories during the Battle of France. Hahn was particularly successful during the Battle of Britain. He claimed three RAF Spitfire fighters shot down on 31 August 1940, to record his eighth through 10th victories. After claiming his 20th victory on 20 September 1940, Hahn was awarded the Ritterkreuz. On 29 October 1940, Hahn was promoted to the rank of Hauptmann and appointed Gruppenkommandeur of III./JG 2. By the end of 1940, his victory total had reached 22. Hauptmann Hahn was awarded the Eichenlaub (Nr 32) on 14 August 1941 for 41 victories. He recorded his 50th victory on 13 October 1941 and his 60th on 4 May 1942. Hahn shot down a RAF Spitfire fighter on 16 September 1942 to record his 66th, and last, victory over the Western front. Hahn was appointed Gruppenkommandeur of II./JG 54 “Grünherz”, based on the Eastern front, on 1 November 1942. In the space of three months, he claimed a further 42 victories. He shot down five Russian aircraft on 30 December (75-79). On 1 January, Hahn was promoted to the rank of Major. His best day occurred on 14 January 1943, when he downed seven Russian La-5 fighters (80-86). He recorded his 100th victory on 27 January 1943.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: start;">Leading III./JG54 on 21 February 1943, Hahn encountered Russian fighters near Staraya Russa. In the ensuing combat, he shot down a Russian La-5 fighter for his 108th, and last, victory. In the course of the combat, his aircraft received hits in the left wing. Disengaging from further combat, Hahn headed west but his engine soon began overheating and he had to land his Bf 109 G-2/R6 (W.Nr. 13 949) “Black <<” in enemy-held territory. Soviet sources claim Hahn was shot down by Russian ace Starshiiy Leytenant Pavel Grazhdanikov (13 victories, killed in action 5 April 1943) of 169 IAP, VVS. Hahn was captured and subsequently made a prisoner of war. Hahn was held captive and was not released by the Soviet Union until 1950. Hahn gained employment at the International Corporation of Bayer Leverkeusen, fulfilling a position dealing in trade with France and England. He later became a director of the Wano Schwarzpulver Company, which manufactured gunpowder, at Kunigunde near Goslar. He retired from this company in 1977 and lived in southern France with his family. Hahn died on 18 December 1982 at München from cancer. </span><br style="text-align: start;" /><span style="text-align: start;"> “Assi” Hahn was credited with 108 victories in 560 missions.

K. Basset, RAAF 1941 (Tamiya 1/72)<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The motivation to built this model came from an informal Group Build organised in my modelling club SAPMA. The idea was to build a Spitfire used by an Aussie during WWII.</span><br />

<div id="mainimage" style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(144, 144, 144); font-size: 16.00200080871582px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kenneth was born on the 16th of July 1916 in Roma, Queensland. In September 1940, he joined the RAAF and commenced training as a pilot at Narrandra, NSW. In 1941, he left for further training in Ottawa, Canada, and was then posted to England in the same year.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(144, 144, 144); font-size: 16.00200080871582px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After Kenny arrived in England, he was posted to Heston, South London, and joined a Spitfire Squadron. He then had an immediate posting to RAAF 452 Squadron. Tours of duty consisted of sweeps over France and convoy patrols over the English Channel. 452 Squadron was then posted to the Isle of Man and there, Kenny trained other pilots.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(144, 144, 144); font-size: 16.00200080871582px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The following edited report is of typical day for Kenny:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">P/O Lamerton took off with Sgt Bassett (Kenny) for a defensive patrol at 25,000 feet over Mull of Galloway. While climbing and when at 20,000 feet they saw a Ju88 about 5,000 ft above and the E/A (Enemy Aircraft) was flying on a South Easterly course towards the coast. They manoeuvred to get into the sun. P/O Lamberton’s attack was from astern and above. He gave a long burst of 3-4 seconds and silenced the top rear gunner using cannon at a range of 300 yards. However P/O Lamerton’s aircraft was hit by return fire and flames and smoke from the exhaust and cowling soon appeared. He could see ahead and called up saying that he was baling out, which he did from an altitude of 12,000 feet. He was picked up six hours later. Meanwhile Sgt Basset continued to attack the Ju88, but was unable to close to a short range, and was recalled to base after he expended all his ammo, landing at 07:55. He claimed a damaged aircraft shared with P/O Lamerton. It was the last claim of the Squadron while stationed in England. P/O Lamerton was from South Australia and had joined the Squadron three months before from OTU. He was later killed with the Squadron.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kenny eventually returned to Australia to the defend Darwin in the very dangerous skies over Australia and the Pacific against a determined and resourceful enemy.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 16.00200080871582px;">Kenny married Eddie in 1942, and was posted to Tasmania mostly training pilots for the remainder of the war. He was discharged from the Air Force in 1945, and after War’s end, he returned to Roma with his family. In 1963 the family moved to Brisbane finally settling St Lucia, where he lived for the rest of his life. He passed away on the 31st May 2006.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Eindecker was equipped with an IMG 08 "Spandau" 7.92mm machine gun. Obviously the kit would benefit from an aftermarket representation of this machine gun. However, I have decided to build it as most out-of-the-box as possible, so I just painted the piece XF-01 Flat Black and had some graphite powder rubbed into it afterwards.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Progressing with this building very steadily, mainly because I'm grounded home due to a recent knee operation. Anyway! The next step was to start with the painting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've read so many reviews over the internet and one thing that was common to all is in regards to the fuselage band decals. They don't match properly. So I decided to to paint those marks. Since I was about to paint it, I decided also decided to paint the big white squares on the wings and fuselage. This is because the decal would be positioned just on the top of the rigging points and I would have to use few decal solving solutions to fix it. In the end they will look nicer. However, I will cut and use the decals for the German crosses.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first thing Ive done was to spray Tamiya XF-60 Dark Yellow overall to uncover any mistake or gaps to be corrected (had some minor ones easily fixed). I still have not decided what colour to use for the fuselage but this will give me an stating point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then I painted the white areas using Tamiya XF-02 Flat White with a few drops of Future (1 paint : 1 Future : 2 X-20A @15psi)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The main colour was then applied. The instructions called for Humbrol 103 Matt Cream. Since I only use acrylic paints and mainly Tamiya, I decided to mix it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I came up with following mix ratio:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">58% XF02</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">26% XF57</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">12% XF15</span></li>

My intention is to make one of the decal options for the aircraft flown by Obfw. Jakob Arnoldy. He was attached to 4./JG77 based on Mandal - Norway, in 1940. During that time he was flying the "Weisse 5"which was a Bf109E-3 <span style="background-color: transparent;">WNr.1276. </span>The painting scheme is RLM71, RLM02 over RLM65 which was characteristic of the period.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some progress done on the cockpit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Firstly I painted the floor with GUNZE acrylic H70 RLM02 and weathered using water colours pencil silver and Tamiya Panel Accent BLACK.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Following I worked on the firewall, basic painting to pick up the details using Tamiya XF-63 German Grey for the cannon butt, GUNZE acrylics H8 SILVER for the pedals and GUNZE acrylic H70 RLM02 and weathered using water colours pencil silver and Tamiya Panel Accent BLACK. I added a piece of lead foil for the pedal straps and painted it GUNZE H66 RLM79 to simulate leather.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next I drilled the seat belt aperture and added the seat belts, fiber material seat belts from KAMIZUKURI (870-0906). I'm not sure about the colour though, I'll probably need to paint it. I also weathered it using water colour pencil silver.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The instruments panel was painted Tamiya XF-63 German Grey and than I used the supplied decals. I did added the filter pump control lever made of a piece of photo etch scrap.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After discovering I had made a mistake with the slats positioning I scrapped it and started again. Here I used a tip I got from a fellow modeller Luftwaffe esperten Mr Brettas (you can find his fine works here: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HarpiaseAguiasdaLuftwaffe/?fb_dtsg_ag=AdwYSOPr3gGXLwuwY2oIoL61QnsSbnNF7YMViBpvWDRglQ%3AAdz1AWWKs06ToVa0tsTDLFBJv0O411a4i2k6pjVTOej_PQ" target="_blank">Harpias e Águias da Luftwaffe by E. Brettas</a> ). He told me to glue a piece of fine plastic in the overall extension of the slat, then drill the a hole for positioning the slats openings and cut the excess with a sharp hobby knife. So that's what I have tried to do.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One annoying thing about this Tamiya kit is the closed canopy as the only option. After working the beautiful interior it would be insane to keep it closed. So I decided to carefully cut it open. I than polish it and gave a bath of FUTURE to restore the clear.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Starting the painting adventure, I decided to show a step by step of my (not so conventional) painting method.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It may seen odd, but I don't prime my model, I apply a coat of silver instead. In this case I used GUNZE acrylic H8 Silver, thinned with MLT (1H*:2MLT+retarder) and 3 drops of Mr retarder mild, air pressure at 20psi. I applied it overall and set it to dry overnight.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">allowing it to dry completely I inspect the model for any imperfections requiring to be fixed. In the photo below you can observe that I sanded on starboard top wing. I than start to pre-shade. Some people say pre-shading is not worth the working. However, I do like it and think it's worth the extra time. Basically I spray very thinned XF1 Black (1XF1:4X20A+retarder) at low air pressure (8psi) in thin lines and in areas I want it to be shadowed. I don't worry about little over spray and not so straight lines since I can correct them later.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With the pre-shade </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">complete you can start your painting straight away if you wish so.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In this case I'm using Gunze acrylic H67 RLM65 (1H67:3MLT + 3 drops Retarder). The idea is to work by panels, starting with the panel centre and expand it to cover all, controlling the coats to not cover the pre-shade completely.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Patient is the key here. Don't try to do the whole kit at once. I usually load smaller amounts of paint at a time, that would allow me to do a wing, for example. Then I have to stop, clean the airbrush, re-mix the paint etc to stat over again. This allows to paint to dry and show off the effect, this way you don't over-do it and loose the effect (better control)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another coat of Tamiya X-22 Clear thinned with MLT (1:3,15psi) was applied and the kit set aside to completely dry before starting with the weathering.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What's the spinner colour? I was pondering about this question for a while. According to the Tamiya instructions I should paint it RLM70 entirely. However, looking to the first photo of this article, you will notice a spinner in lighter colour. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A small setback. When I did take out the windshield masking tape I've noticed some flat clear leaked into the windshield's side panels (sorry! No photos).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm trying to fix it up by polishing with Tamiya compound putty.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Problem solved. Apologies for not having the photo of the damaged windshield but here it is fixed. I've polished it with Tamiya compound putty medium and fine until removed (or most of it), I then gave it a bath on Future Clear and left to dry overnight.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is a little bit of a work perhaps, but heaps better than to cut out masks for those complicated canopy frames. The final result is, by far, better than masking.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm now reaching the final steps of this building. Most probably the next photos will show the completed model.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well! I call it done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After finishing the small details and adding the missing parts . I finally got it finished.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here are a few photos. More detailed and better quality photos to come.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finally, as promised, here are the photos of the finished model. I'd say it was a pleasure to build this kit. Any set back I had was self inflicted and nothing to do with the kit quality.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The canopy is pretty decent out of of the box. I only added a set of harnesses and some scratch built details to the panel. All the parts fit together very well and little putty was used.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There were some mistakes regarding the painting scheme but I only noticed it because was checking my references (i.e. spinner colour).</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hi all!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I usually don't build models under commission, but in this case it was a especial request and a favor to a fellow member of my modelling club (SAPMA).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dudley Hokings is a senior member of the club and due his age he no longer is able to build a model. It doesn't mean he is present in our meetings and he loves a good chat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway! One day he approached me and asked if Ifould do hem a favor. He was a very close friend with a veteran who used to fly the Beaufort during the world war 2. He has now passed away, but Dudley is still friend with his wife Trish. He said he had a kit and decals do make the exactly version flew by his friend Bill Wood. Of course I said Yes!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here are some reference photos:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dudley gave me some valuable information that he had been gathering along the years for this dreamed project. It has precious war photos from the pilot private collection and also the pilot's accounting regarding the correct serial number for his aircraft. The nose art consists of a representation of Diana "The Goddess of Hunt", some bombs representing the missions and "Trish" Bill Wood's wife name.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The kit</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The kit he had available was not the RAAF version but another British original version of the Beaufort. However, it has most of the parts necessary to convert to Australian built Beaufort (Pratt Whitney engines, antennas etc), but not the essential part to convert the dorsal turret (I had to scratchbuilt it).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The kit was airbrushed using Gunze acrylics:</span></div>

</ol>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Weathered using a combination of techniques like oils, pigments and water colours.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A final coat of Gunze H20 Flat Clear was sprayed overall.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Heller 1/72</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi all</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had this very old Heller kit sitting in my stash for over 30 years. Due it's age it was not engraved panel lines, so I decided to use it as a practice for my first ever try to engrave panel lines in a kit. It was not perfect but I've learned a lot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had some issues with some seams that were hard do cover even after several re-dos with super glue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've used only acrylic paints, mostly Gunze Acqueous Paint.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The decals were another challenge, due it's age they broke apart once in the water. Luckly I had two set of the decals, so I sprayed a coat of Lacquer clear coat and applied as usual. However, the decals were very transparent so I decided to double up them using the other set of decals, it was not perfect but better than originally.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Weathering was made using Tamiya accent panel lines, watercolours pencils and pastels.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall it looked good but not standing a chance in a model show.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've tried to represent an aircraft part of the Flottille 1F operating on the French Aircraft Carrier Arromanches in Indochina circa early 50's.</span><br />

<br /></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">P-40C 33RD PURSUIT SQUADRON</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">USA, 1941</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Model improved with full scratch built interior, add new wheels from my spare parts box.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Added new machine guns and new pitot from syringe needles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Painted mostly using Tamiya and Gunze aqueous Hobby Colours acrylics.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Camouflage:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Undersurfaces Grey FS 36440 = Tamiya XF-80 overall plus added a few drops of white XF-2 for highlights.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Upper-surfaces US Olive Drab FS 34087 = Gunze H52 overall plus added a few drops of white H1 for highlights.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Decals:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">FCM Decals 72-22 P-40 Galore plus spares for propeller's stencils. I had issues with the upper wing decals when trying to make them to conform to kit's surface, tried Gunze's Mr Marker Fit and it almost dissolved the decal completely. I had to try to fix as best as I could but didn't end perfect as I intended.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Conclusion:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Overall the kit is very basic and have some major mistakes. It's aimed for very beginner modellers. Serious modellers should by the Airfix new tool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">PS: After looking the photos I've noticed I've missed the rear windows, it's now been fixed.</span><br />

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The North American B-25 Mitchell was an American twin-engine, medium bomber manufactured by North American Aviation (NAA).</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The design was named in honor of Major General William "Billy" Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. Used by many Allied air forces, the B-25 served in every theater of World War II and after the war en<span style="background-color: white;">ded many remained in service, operating across four decades. Produced in numerous variants, nearly 10,000 Mitchells rolled from NAA factories.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
B-25C was the first version of the Mitchell to be mass-produced. Following the
completion of the initial B-25, B-25A, and B-25B contracts, a number of
contracts were awarded to North American for 1625 B-25Cs to be built at its
Inglewood factory. At the same time, an additional contract was issued for 2290
essentially identical B-25Ds, to be built at a new North American plant in
Kansas City, Kansas. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
first B-25C contract was approved on September 24, 1940 for 863 aircraft under
the company designation NA-82. On June 24, 1941, the Netherlands government
ordered an additional 162 aircraft under the designation NA-90 which were later
built as the B-25C-5. Lend-Lease funds financed contracts signed on January 23,
1942 for 150 NA-94 (B-25C-10) for Britain and 150 NA-93 (B-25C-15) for China.
However, these allotments were not followed in the delivery of actual aircraft.
<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
B-25C was outwardly almost identical to the B-25B. It introduced the R-2600-13
Double Cyclone engine with Holley 1685HA carburetors in place of the earlier
Bendix Stromberg PD-13E-2 units. The Bendix carburetors were favored because of
their easier maintenance, but they required more careful anti-icing procedures.
De-icer and anti-icing systems were added, and a Stewart-Warner cabin heater
was added in the left wing. A 24-volt electrical system was also added. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
armament of the B-25C was the same as that of the B-25B, namely a single
0.30-inch machine gun in the nose, two 0.50-inch machine guns in the dorsal
turret, and two 0.50-inch machine guns in a retractable ventral turret. The
ventral turret was often removed in the field. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
B-25C introduced a new type of tail skid underneath the extreme rear fuselage,
a solid unit which replaced the spring-loaded tail skid of earlier versions.
This type of tail skid was retained throughout the Mitchell production run. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On
the earlier B-25s, the exhaust pipe coming out of the back of the engines
extended all the way to a position underneath the forward leading edge of the
wing. On the B-25C, the exhaust pipes were considerably shortened, and
terminated immediately behind the engines. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
fuel was carried in four tanks in the inner wing panels, with a total capacity
of 670 US gallons. In addition, a 515-gallon tank could be installed in the
bomb bay for ferrying purposes, bringing total fuel capacity to 1255 US
gallons. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Beginning
with B-25C serial number 41-12817, a small transparent scanning blister was installed
above the navigator's station. At this time, the turrets were changed to Bendix
Amplidyne type, and a carbureter air filter was added. Changes were made so
that an additional 304 US gallons of fuel could be carried in auxiliary cells
in the outer wing panels, for a total of 974 US gallons. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
B-25C-1 production block introduced under-wing bomb racks which could
accommodate six to eight 100- to 325-pound bombs. In addition, provisions were
made for a rack underneath the fuselage capable of carrying a short 22.4-inch
torpedo weighing 2000 pounds. If the torpedo was carried, no bombs could be,
although a bomb bay fuel tank could be used. The Mitchell was employed only in
limited numbers as a torpedo plane against Japanese shipping. However, extensive
use was made of the external wing racks, which could carry six to eight bombs
of 100-325 pounds in weight. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Beginning
with the B-25C-5 production block, the 0.30-inch nose gun was removed and
replaced by a flexible 0.50-inch machine gun in the extreme nose and a fixed
0.50-inch machine mounted on the starboard side of the nose and firing through
a hole cut into the side of the Plexiglas glazing. At the same time, better
winterization provision were made. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
B-25C-5 production block also introduced a new type of engine exhaust. The
B-25B and earlier C versions had a problem with bright spurts of flame being
emitted from the exhaust, a dead giveaway during night operations. This problem
was so bad that the Mitchell had to be restricted from night operations where
enemy aircraft could be expected. In these earlier versions, the exhaust from
each cylinder head was gathered by a collector ring, which directed the exhaust
to the outside via a single pipe on the side of the nacelle away from the
fuselage. Several different exhaust modifications were tried out in an attempt
to alleviate this problem. The most effective arrangement was found to be a the
replacement of the single exhaust pipe by a set of "finger"-type
flame dampening exhaust collectors which ported the exhaust through groups of
small rectangular outlets that stuck out underneath the trailing edge of the
cowl flaps. These "finger"-type flame dampeners were installed on the
production line beginning with the B-25C-5 production block. These were fairly
effective flame quenchers, but they suffered considerable cracking and few
B-25Cs reached combat zones without the replacement of these finger exhausts by
full collector rings or by the later Clayton S-shaped stacks that were
introduced on the -15 production block. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
B-25C-10 production block introduced an AM remote reading compass, provisions
for additional cabin heating, and an improved scanning lens for the sig. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Beginning
with the B-25C-15 production block, the exhaust collector ring was replaced
with Clayton "S"-shaped flame dampening stacks attached to each
individual cylinder. Cutouts and fairings were added to the cowling panels
where each of the stacks protruded, creating a rather cluttered cowling shape.
These protrusions introduced a slight speed penalty, but this was considered an
acceptable tradeoff in view of the better flame dampening that was achieved.
This feature was provided on all subsequent Mitchells. However, the new exhaust
system was not all that popular with Mitchell crews, since it resulted in an
increase in cockpit noise as compared to the old arrangement in which collector
rings ported the exhaust to the outboard side of the nacelles. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At
the same time, emergency hydraulic landing gear lowering devices were provided.
<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Deliveries
on a new contract (NA-96) began in February 1943 with the similar B-25C-20. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Beginning
with production block B-25C-25, a "clear-vision" windshield was
installed. Provisions were made for the fitting of additional fuel tanks for
ferrying purposes. 125 gallons of fuel could be carried in side-mounted tanks
in the waist position. A 215-gallon self-sealing fuel tank could be installed
in the bomb bay, and provisions for a droppable 335-gallon metal bomb-bay fuel
tank were made on every second airplane. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">B-25C
serial number 43-32732 was fitted with a special bomb bay rack to carry an
airborne flame thrower. The results of tests with this unusual feature are
unknown. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
first B-25C was accepted in December of 1941, with the 1619th and last one
being delivered in May of 1943. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Steps</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "arial";">As usual, the construction begins by the cockpit which seems to be well detailed for the scale and considering it will be enclosed. There is a recommendation to add 25gr weight on the nose landing gear bay to prevent tail sitting ( I particularly don't think to be able to squeeze that much weight in that area, but we need to remember that the landing gear door is mostly closed when the aircraft is landed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The bomb bay is very well detailed and you have the option to leave it open or closed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The wings comes with a reinforcement which is nice to see in this small scale. it looks very well moulded and detailed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The tail plane allows you to have the rudder in different positions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The engine mounts and main landing gear are also well detailed. The landing gear needs to be fixed prior the engine boom and it will probably require extra care to not to be knocked off during building handling. I'll probably squeeze a few lead pellets in the back of the engine to prevent tail sitting since there is not much space on the nose and cockpit area. You have the option to make the aircraft in flight with all landing gear doors closed. Main wheel comes in two parts and looks all right.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">You also have the option to have the flaps up or down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Machine guns turrets are very well detailed. The underside turret can be built in two positions. Both sub-assemblies can be added after painting which is very good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">There are two types of windshield model you can choose depending on the model you are building. All clear parts looks very clear and free of distortion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />

<br />
For my next project I have decided to build an A-4B Skyhawk from Argentine Air Force during the Falklands conflict in 1982.<br />
<br />
Politics aside, the conflict proved that skilled pilots can make a difference even when using an outdated, or inferior material. In this case the old and still reliable Scooter (Douglas A-4B Skyhawk). <br />
<br />
This is a challenging subject, since the resources available are, quite often, not reliable or conflicting. I was fortunate to find an amazing tread in a scale modelling forum where the author (FAAMAN) made a comprehensive article (post) in regards to the Argentinian Skyhawks.<br />
<br />
This post will be my guide through this building, you can read it <a href="http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=47356&hilit=Airfix+1%2F72+Douglas+A4B%2F4P+Skyhawk+A03029&start=40" target="_blank">HERE</a>.<br />

I have decided to built the A-4B C-242, as seen im late May 1982. It was flown by Primer Teniente (1st Lt) Guadagnini. Unfortunately he was killed on the the 23rd during the attack to HMS Antelope. <br />

Following is the accounting for that day:<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.43px; text-align: left;"><i><b>23 MAY 1982:</b></i></span><br />
<i><b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.43px; text-align: left;">A flight of four Grupo 5 A-4B Skyhawks attack in two groups. The first attack is led by Capitan Carballo with Primer teniente Alferez Gomez flying his wing. They approach HMS Antelope fast and low over the water. The results of the attack are one 1000 lb. un-exploded bomb in the Antelope's stern. It is believed that the Skyhawk piloted by Alférez H. Gómez stroke Antelope with the 1000 lb. bomb that did not explode. (Later this bomb did explode while being defused, leading to further explosions that sunk the ship.) Capaitan Carballo's Skyhawk is severely damaged by AAA and an exploding SAM, and barely escapes a second SAM. Carvballo's damaged Skyhawk makes it back to base and post-flight inspection finds a damaged fin on one of his drop tanks. This may have been caused by striking the mast rigging of the Antelope.</span><br style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.43px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.43px; text-align: left;">The second attack from this flight is flown by Primer Teniente Guadagnini and Teniente Rinke and results in another 1000 lb. unexploded bomb in the Antelope. Primer Teniente Guadagnini flying A-4B Skyhawk C-242 was killed when his Skyhawk was struck, mostly likely by a British Sea Wolf SAM from HMS Broadsword.</span><br style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.43px; text-align: left;" /><br style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.43px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.43px; text-align: left;">Later,Argentine Navy Third Escuadrilla A-4Q Skyhawks, attack the British Frigate Antelope. The Navy flight consisted of Capitan de Corbeta Castro Fox and Zubizarreta, Benitez and Oliverira. Zuizarreta would die when his aircraft, laden with un-expended ordinance he could not discard, blew a tire causing his aircraft to veer of the runway upon landing. Zuizarreta ejected but did not have the needed speed to facilitate completion of the chute deployment and was killed. His aircraft, 3-A-309 ironically was not damaged.</span></b></i></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><i>"Achtung", I call over the radio " viele Indianer vor uns ! Frage Victor? " - " lots of bandits up ahead of us, do you copy?" For heaven's sake Esau, I think to myself, there's at least twenty silver birds, dark American stars on the wings and fuselage, right in our path. "Esau to Edi, take your wingman and climb for altitude and don't attack until you have height advantage - we'll split up now, copy. I get a 'Roger' back - Roger! Esau, I say to myself, no doubt some of these 'Boys' (sic) will try and get in behind us and " reise- resise machen ". My wingman Paul Slodczyk was already covering me and we now climbed in a north-westerly direction in order to get into a position to dive down on the Amis. While we were straining for height I called up 'Jumbo' our controller and reported contact with a large group of Americans in the hope that they might be able to launch another Schwarm but we were out of luck - it was just the four of us against more than twenty of them...combat against superior numbers had become our daily bread and so it would be today. The Amis were now over Lake Balaton at around 3,000 metres. They were getting closer to our field. They were visibly not too concerned about us, which I was glad about. I had cut off their retreat and was now about 2,000 metres higher up and almost directly over the top of them. At the same time as I called out " Pauke, Pauke" I threw my kite over onto its wingtip and dove down into the attack! Almost simultaneously Edi Pitzl dove down and opened up on the Mustang flying on the left flank of their formation - a hit; the silver bird spun away out of control streaming smoke and a chute billowed out. I confirmed his victory and congratulated him just as 'my' 'Sibervogel' loomed large in my sight! Closing rapidly from astern I opened up - my first salvo streaked wide as the Mustang pilot threw his stick forward just as I squeezed the firing button! My wingman also over-shot. Couldn't be helped! My "Me" (sic) was now half-way over on its back pulling hard into a tight curve. This was no firing position but I was managing to stay on my opponent's tail. Suddenly a volley of tracers split the air ahead of us - another mad Ami was letting go with all he'd got right into our circle. It turned out that this Texas 'cowboy' - who no doubt practised his sharp shooting on whiskey glasses in the saloon bar - must have scored some hits as a short while later my engine started to cough and misfire. Meanwhile the Mustang pilot was pulling a tighter and tighter turn still with two Messerschmitt 'boys' on his tail, juddering on the edge of the stall and streaming contrails from their wingtips. I gave him another salvo and then another and saw a couple of lightning flashes on his machine. Then suddenly he pulled up and in a fraction of a second I pulled back hard on the stick, my Me shuddered, and I got off two more short bursts. The Mustang's controls had been damaged - he went into a gentle turn and now all my rounds were walking into his fuselage and wings. As I broke off- almost ramming my wingman - there was an explosion in the Mustang's engine, pieces of cowling and metal skinning whirled off into the slipstream and he streamed a trail of thick dark smoke. "Esau - Abschuss!" But now the other Americans were circling at a watchful distance - like laughing hyenas. Up to now - apart from the Texas shooter - they had - thank God - not got involved in the fight......"</i></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><i>Three P-51s chased Ewald's G-10/U4 (WNr. 610487) as far as Veszprem. At the controls of his lame and smoking "Me" Ewald's thoughts turned to comrade and 99-victory RK-holder Ltn Fönnekold who had been finished off by P-51s as he had tried to carry out an emergency landing in Hungary. He let down to low altitude hoping that the P-51s would be scared off by the flak - his manoeuvre resulted in his Messerschmitt coming under fire from the airfield defences! With his aircraft taking hits and suddenly feeling nose-heavy Ewald had just enough altitude to bail out over the side of the cockpit, immediately tugging on the ripcord. Even in his chute he came under fire - German troops disembarking from a train in the vicinity of the airfield opening up on what they thought was a Russian pilot swinging under his chute, as he was later told by eye witnesses. He came down some four kilometres from the airfield in a hard landing. Even spread-eagled on the ground, Ewald's ordeal was not over - he was approached by Hungarian workers shouting " Ruski kaputt !" " Man Esau - die wollen dich umbringen !" I drew my service revolver and started firing wildly over their heads..." As his comrade Sachsenberg put it; " you poor little sod Esau - first shot down by your own flak, then shot at by German troops, even our Hungarian allies were looking to knock your block off with their pickaxes!.." </i></span></div>

<h2>
The Gustav</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Messerschmitt Bf109 "G"series were known as Gustav. The G-10 were the last G to be built and it was a transition to the definitive serie "K". Built from October 1944 until the end of the war and was produced by converting old airframes and designed to use the new and better DB605D engine. However, this engine wasn't immediately available when the first G-10 started to be built and therefore, the first batch used the DB605AS instead. These have been previously used on the G-14's.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These were known as G-10/AS.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the DB065D was finally available the front part of the engine cowling was slightly modified with two small bumps just under the first exhaust pipe (one to each side). It also had a wider and deeper oil radiator.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the G-10 used a variety of used airframes, different combinations could be encountered. All depended on the origin of the machine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most of G-10 were fitted with larger tail fin and rudder, although some had the smaller tail fin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ERLA hood seems to have been fitted as standard as was the radio antenna mast (FuG 16zy) under the port wing. Also the 300L drop-tank was very widely used.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The kit and the profile above suggests the airframe to represent a Bf109G-10 with Flettner tab and two fixed trim tabs, also short tail wheel and DB605D engine as found in production batches 612000 and 770000, for exemple. However, the serial number would not match the profile (610487).</div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">We can observe two manufacturer data plates. This was a characteristic of aircraft made by WNF (which is also mentioned on the profile above).</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit;">The WNF-manufactured G10 are the only ones which survive to this day. Heavily based on the G6 MW50, they used the fuselage "moons" on both sides and the cowl sets from the K4 model. As their production started at a much later date than Erla, all WNF G10s seem to have used the larger wheels and the new wing. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; background-color: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12px;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The first WNF produced G10 were not new a/c. Instead, WNF converted new G14/U4 to the G10 standard by replacing the DB605AM with the DB605D. These planes can be recognized by the presence of 2 manufacturer data plates on the left forward fuselage. </span></span></div>

The Werknummer block for the first production (G10/U4) would match the profiles. The only weak link is the long tail wheel.<br />
<br />
However, in the photo below. As the G-14 had the short tail wheel, and as most of WNF first batch were G-14. I reckon is acceptable to assume the short tail fin can be used.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A good friend of mine and a Messerschmitt expert Eduardo Brettas has confirmed that many WNF G-10 were produced with short tail wheels and sent to JG52. so the question is set.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After separating the parts from the sprues I started to work on some things that were annoying me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first change was to remove the head armour. In the real life it was fixed to the canopy and not to the cockpit as the kit represents it, I still haven't decided if I'll leave the canopy closed or will open it, so this detail would impact in the future decision.</div>

Reading the excellent article from Rato Marzack (here: <a href="http://www.ratomodeling.com/finished/me109g10_72/" target="_blank">http://www.ratomodeling.com/finished/me109g10_72/</a> ), he mentions that would be impossible to install the exhausts after painting is done, so I did the same as him and opened the front of the fuselage to allow me to insert them after painted.</div>

I'm thinking about leaving the canopy open. In order to do it I'll need to cut the original canopy. So I found an ex-Airfix G-6 canopy in my spare parts box and cut the front windscreen out of it. A lot of sanding and scratching to make it fir perfectly to the fuselage. Now I'll need to cut the ERLA canopy out of the original. Both canopies will have an extra bath on Future to restore shine before masking.<br />

Now to the wings. I have a very particular way to glue the wings. What I do is to glue the upper part to the fuselage first. Making sure it fits perfectly (so don't need to sand). Set aside to dry thoroughly (at least overtime) and then glue the other side. After that, just glue the underside in place.</div>

Another improvement I did was to add the weld seam to the charger scoop. This feature is very noticeable on all Bf109's. I just used a very thin stretched sprue.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now was time to improve the wing navigation lights. What I usually do is to use a piece of clear sprue, drill a very small hole on it, paint inside the drilled hole with clear paint (red and green), after the paint is cured, super glue the sprue to the wing tips (after removing the moulded lights first). Remove the sprue excess with sand stick. Fill any gap with superglue and re-sand until it's good. As a final touch, use a nail polish sand stick to polish it and give its shine.</span><br />

Spitfire MK XII - Airfix 1/48<br />
<br />
For the first time in more than 25 years I've built an 1/48th scale model.<br />
<br />
This was a Kris-Kringle present and I decided to build it despite not being my preferred scale.<br />
<br />
So here we go! This new tooling Airfix kit is really very nicely done, excellent details and fine and crisp engraved panel lines. Also the fit is just perfect and I haven't use putty at all.<br />
<br />
The decals has two options and I decided to do one flown by South Australian RAAF Flight Lieutnant Donald Smith. Don Smith was the Squadron Leader and it was his personal aircraft.<br />

<br />
This is the first time I'll build a Hobby Boss kit :)<br />

<br />
I'll represent an aircraft from the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) of the 1st/14th Fighter Squadron, Pampa Squadron, based in Canoas Air Base located in Canoas, Rio Grande do Sul.<br />
<br />
I'll try to make the FAB 4865 as it receive a commemorative painting scheme celebrating the 53rd Anniversary of the Squadron creation in 2000.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The aircraft:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>This plane was ex-USAF 72-01400 and it was bought in 1989. In 2000 to celebrate the squadron 53rd Anniversary it received a commemorative painting. It was the first time ever in FAB history that it happened. The painting was done by Cap-Av. <u>Sérgio</u> Barros de Oliveira, and was to represent a Siberian Tiger. In the CL tank, there is the phrase: "53 Anos" (53 Years).<br />
It was painted between the 18th and 19th of March 2000 with the assistance of Sgt.<u> Jefferson</u> Awes do Santos and Sgt. Carlos <u>Kleber</u> de Oliveira Câmara. The 4865 was officially presented on the 24th of March, during the Squadron anniversary ceremony.<br />
The plane held this painting until the 23rd of April 2002 when it was due for its routine inspection at PAMA/SP. (Source: Já te atendo tchê! - A História do 1/14 GAV, O Esquadrão Pampa, José Leandro Poerschke Casella, Rudnei Dias da Cunha, Ed. Action 2005)<br />

I therefore, decided to use the combination of AIM-9 plus Python as seen in the second photo above.<br />

I then started to cover them in grey FS36463 which I have made mixing Tamiya acrilics 8:XF02 White + 1:XF69 Nato Black. The idea was to give a first coat randomly and then gradually build up the colour but allowing for tone variances.<br />
<br />
The first victim was the external fuel tank.<br />

Cmdr Officer of 78th FG, flew 90 missions in the Pacific Theatre;
served also with the 55th FG and 357th FG/ Had over 1039 hrs in flying
time and 174 total missions.<br />

34 1/2 total of which 20 were ground, 14 1/2 air<br />
78th FG. Lt Col John D Landers , of Joshua Texas, assumed command of
the 78th Fighter Group at Duxford on February 22nd 1945 and became the
Group’s sixth Commanding Officer. A graduate of Cleburne, Texas, High
School and Arkansas Teacher’s College at Conway, Arkansas, John Landers
enlisted in April 1941 and received his wings and commission at
Stockton, California, a few days after Pearl Harbour. In January 1942 he
embarked for Darwin, Australia, and checked out in a P-40, going into
combat with less than ten hours pursuit time.<br />
“On his second operational mission, Lt Col Landers had what he still
calls his biggest combat thrill. Enemy planes had been reported north of
Darwin, and twelve American planes, including the colonel’s, took off
to intercept them. The Texan’s Warhawk developed engine trouble, and he
was soon flying alone behind the others, halfway between Darwin and
Melville Island. He sighted the Japanese aircraft – seven bombers with
three escorting Zero fighters – and with 2000 feet altitude superiority,
dived to attack. Finding a bomber dead in his sights, he blew the Jap
plane apart for his first aerial victory.<br />
The escorting Zeros punched holes in the American’s plane from wing
to tail and knocked his radio out, so he dived away and waited for them
to come back on the return route. From a distance, he saw the remainder
of his squadron shooting down other enemy planes. When the Japs
returned, only three bombers and no Zeros were left. Lt Col Landers
attacked from the rear and sent the remaining three bombers crashing
into the sea, to complete a 10-0 victory for the Yanks. As two of the
last three bombers had already been shot up by the other flyers, the
Texan received full credit only for the two that were in perfect shape
when he attacked.<br />
A short time later, Lt Col Landers was moved with the squadron to New
Guinea, near Buna. He was now flying a P-38 Lightning. The American
field was frequently bombed and strafed by Japanese planes, and the
colonel shot down four Zeros on intercepted missions.<br />
After his sixth victory, the pilot himself was shot down and bailed
out o9n the wrong side of the Owen Stanley mountain range. Friendly
natives helped him out of the jungle, and seven days after he had joined
the Caterpillar Club he returned to his home base. A leave and a 43-day
tour of Australia followed, and then the pilot returned to his
squadron, flew a few missions, and was “rotated” back to the States. He
received a Purple Heart for his jungle ordeal.<br />
In the States, he met acclaim and publicity, and appeared on the
Ginny Sims radio program among others. Seven months later, bored with
routine flying at Santa Ana, California, he applied for further combat
and was immediately sent to England and to the 55th Fighter Group, then
commanded by Colonel George T Crowell, of Chicago, Illinois. That was in
April1944. The 55th Group was then flying the P-38 Lightnings and later
changed to the P-51 Mustangs.<br />
The Texan’s chief combat with Nazi planes occurred when he led his
flight of Lightnings against 20 German planes threatening B-24
Liberators near Bernburg, Germany. He said that the enemy pilots stayed
in tight formation throughout the fight and only broke loose to crash or
jump. He saw nine Me 410’s crash and three chutes open. He was credited
with three of the victories. None of his squadron’s planes were lost.<br />
On a mission shortly after that action, Lt Col Landers demolished two
Junkers 88’s at an airfield southwest of Berlin. He swept in on the
parked fighter-bombers with a flight of five Mustangs, and the Americans
left six of the enemy planes burning.<br />
His most exciting bit of combat in this theatre occurred when he led
his flight of Lightnings over a truck convoy behind the battle lines in
France. The American fighters were carrying two 500 pound bombs each,
one under each wing. On a country road, Lt Col Landers and his squadron
found a truck convoy moving along. He led two passes, dropping one bomb
on each pass.<br />
The convoy was hit, but some trucks still moved, so the Texan roared
up and down, strafing with his 50-caliber guns and 20-millimeter cannon.
Col Landers said that the gunners must have been killed, as no shots
were fired at the Americans in the last pass. The gunners had done their
work well, as the colonel returned to his base with his plane torn from
Nazi fire. Jagged hoes were all over his plane, and a wing had to be
changed.<br />
The pilot’s eagerness in combat was dramatically shown when he was
assigned to lead the longest mission ever flown by fighter planes, a
1600-mile round trip escorting heavy bombers to Gydnia, Poland. He took
off and developed engine trouble a short way out. He radioed back to the
field to have another plane ready. On landing, he hopped into a waiting
Mustang, then took off and caught his group just before it rendezvoused
with the bombers. His plane was in the air more than seven hours.<br />
Joining the 55th Group as a captain and squadron operations officer,
the Texan left it in October 1944, a squadron commander and Lieutenant
Colonel. He left to temporarily command the 375th Fighter Group at
Leiston, while the group was awaiting the return of Colonel Erwin H
Dregne, of Viroqua, Wisconsin, former deputy commander of the group on
leave in the States at this time, who was slated to succeed Col Donald W
Graham of Oakland, California.<br />
Lt Col Landers' ability to be in the right place at the right time
was demonstrated when he and other pilots of the 375th Group barged into
the middle of an Me 109 landing pattern. The leader polished off a Me
109 over the snow-covered field and then dived to the deck, riddling
another. The 375th Group pilots, flying low enough to scoop up snow,
wrecked a total of 13 Nazi planes on the ground and shot four out of the
air.<br />
The colonel left the 375th on November 18, 1944, for a second leave
in the United States. He returned to England in February,1945, and took
command of the 78th Fighter Group on the 22nd of that month.”<br />
Lt Col J D Landers’ victories up to March 1, 1945:<br />
PACIFIC AREA:<br />
Destroyed – Six Japanese planes, all in air. (Two bombers, when he was
flying P-40’s from Darwin, Australia, and four Zeros, when he was flying
P-38’s from New Guinea.)<br />
Probably destroyed – Five Japanese planes, all in air.<br />
EUROPEAN THEATER:<br />
Destroyed – Five in air. (One Me 109 and three Me 410’s with the 55th
Group and one Me 109 with the 357th Group. Six on ground. Five German
planes with the 55th,<br />
Damaged – One in air and one on ground.<br />
“Change in commanding officers came as a surprise to the base […]
Soldiers who first saw the new commander reported a tall, burley, easy
speaking individual with enough ribbons (Silver Star with two cluster,
DFC with two clusters, Air Medal with eleven clusters, Purple Heart) to
fashion a Joseph’s coat of many colors.<br />
The colonel, who is the third Texan to command the group, plunged
into missions with the zest of one who love them and flew on four of the
group’s last six combat flights of the month. One of these was the
Berlin mission of February 26th, on which he led the group. [..] The
colonel boosted [his] score by two Messerschmitt 109’s ten days after
joining the group (March 2), when he caught two dozen enemy fighters
forming up over Burg airfield near Madgeburg.”<br />
“No, I don’t carry any kind of luck charm.” Lieutenant Colonel
Landers said. “I don’t know where my luck in finding enemy planes comes
from. Some of the other group commanders claim that if they dropped me
into a barrel of lard, I’d bump into a Nazi plane.”<br />
Whether it is luck or whether the 78th Group’s commanding officer can
“smell the rats” (as some have claimed) is beyond the scope of this
history. The fact remains that within one month after assuming command,
the colonel had led the group into two luscious gaggles of German
planes, both of which were apparently forming up in preparation for
attacks on American bombers. The P-51 Mustang pilots destroyed 45 of the
enemy fighters, 32 of them in one day for a new group air record.”<br />
“Lt Col John D Landers, 24, of Joshua, Texas, commanding officer who
bagged eight on the ground a week previously, topped that record by
destroying nine planes at Prague-Kakowice airdrome. The victories
boosted his total score to 36.5 German and Japanese aircraft destroyed,
of which 14.5 were shot down in aerial combat.<br />
‘When we arrived at least 80 planes were scattered around the field,’
the colonel said. ‘When we left there were 80 funeral pyres. A dozen
anti-aircraft gunners put up some light flak at first, but it didn’t
bother us much and we simply set up a traffic pattern. German aircraft
were blowing up and burning all over the place. We made eight to nine
passes. I scored doubles on each of my first three passes, two of the
six planes blowing up.’”<br />
