Work in Progress

[Kondor]

Umm.. Just curious, why the marking is E o SD on starboard side? Shouldn't it be SD o E on both sides? Well, I know some Squadrons in some points of time had their markings that way- port and starboard were sort of mirroring each other, but in this particular case- is it correct? Did Broadsword use such a skin during Fall Gelb/ BoB?

I am so glad she made it across the ocean. Had to rely on the US postal service to do the job. I have to admit, it gives me a tickle to think some of my work is there in England where all the actual history we recreate took place.
Also glad to see it made it more or less in one piece. I was not sure how to pack it, so I might have gone overboard on the foam surrounding it.
I hope you enjoy it Broadsword.

Kondor, I wondered about the positioning of the codes too. I went with the reference material I had on hand. Of course, those have been known to be wrong from time to time.

Here is an example.

Ok, so it's historically accurate, not ACG accurate, meaning it's not a replica of a Hurricane with Broady's skin on it. Just wanted to know what was the reasoning behind this. Thanks for explanations
And, again, very inspiring work there, Tex. Hope my polystyrene planes would someday be as good as yours

[Tex]

It's all artistic license as far as I am concerned. I have to admit, I have no idea whose depiction is more correct. But, I do think the big SD codes look cool.

[Jammy]

We were planning on updating the skins for 501 with the correct serials, but Bonkin got cought up in work, plus since we're so far in the BoB we thought loading the skins would not be worth the work in the end and will correct them on the grey skins instead.

And yes, the big codes look kewl

That's amazing Tex, nice work.

She's just lovely Tex - sitting in pride of place in my study well out of reach of the cats

You did a great job on the packaging - given the sort of ride she must have had to get here it's amazing that there were only two minor bits of damage, and as we all know the rudder isn't strictly necessary anyway...
