Place holder for a P-40B
At this scale, this is what looks like a P-40 Kittyhawk. The model is from
a FLY’N THINGS recolor, which may be a recolor of Rigby or a dime weight flying model (if someone know let us know). The RAAF used the P-40B Tomakawk that has a distinct nose, but bare with me, I didn't have one when I started the project. Nevertheless by now I have Bruno's and I remember that indeed I have one replica from the classic Micromodels series from WWII! The Aussies did a lot of damage both on the air and strafing airfields in Lebanon and Syria, being the super-predator in that theater. Included is the trio of fighters from the Commonwealth in Levant. ps: don't hold your breath for the Tomahawk ;-) |

Thank you very much Rata:
But what to do next. Support for the Levant campaign with a Bleinheim or a Lysander (from Bruno)? Or something from Operation Torch like a FAA Fulmar or an Albacore (from Gerry)? Maybe a Potez, but which? Transport, light bombing and observation or the newest 63 series (from Bruno)? Or maybe something from the Franco Thai War (from Bruno)? What do you think? ps: or revisit the Curtiss H-75 for the defense of Dakar :-) with the right camouflage (from Rata) The recolor of Bruno's A-20 into a DB-7 is far far away :-( Last edited by wireandpaper; 10-27-2019 at 01:09 AM. |

Inter Theater Support
Thank you for your comments, really appreciated.
I think the simplest to build would be the Fulmar, and maybe the Albacore; following the Bleinheim, although that nose and the engines are a challenge; following the Potez 63 series, the same as the Blenheim, but the tiny twin rudders complicates the build; then the Lysander due to the installation of the wings; then the Potez 25, biplane, but unlike the Albacore the upper wing is not connected to the fuselage; and finally the Potez 650, the connection of the wings to the fuselage and those hanging engines!!! None of these are cut so patience. Nevertheless, some time ago I did this plane. It was an important transport/bomber that no doubt was around Palestine carrying officers and supporting troops. It also served the famous SAS! Could you recognize it? |

Bristol Bombay. It was one of my first Bruno purchases.

Just to validate the inclusion of the Bombay.
Look at second 48 of the following video: De Gaulle in Syria after the fall of Vichy Government. Truly a VIP transport, which included the Greek Royal Family (maybe including the Queen Mother of Spain)! |
