Dear all, I’m afraid that I wasn’t able to finish the work I promised for this week due to complications arising from a flawed wing installation.
In the mean time I would like to repeat our request for any suggestions for either the display of the model, or any suggestions as to which aircraft we should finish the model as. So far we’ve have five possibilities, and are looking for more.
The options we currently are exploring are:
An aircraft from 582 Squadron (Pathfinders) suggested by a member of Pathfinder Lodge 7255,
L7537 of 44 (Rhodesia) Squadron letters KM-L which was shot down on a mission to Dusseldorf in August 1942,
LL777 of 61 Squadron QR-S with its nose art of a hand holding a pair of playing cards,
S for Sugar (the default which comes with the kit).
If anyone has anymore suggestions please let us know either here or through the IBCC Facebook page.
I’ll leave you with a photograph of the model shortly before I realised I had to take one of the wings off again.
I remember seeing a full size aircraft in a museum in one half uncovered one half complete. People were amazed at what was under the skin.
