One model per (non-working) day

[Gerry1966]

I have a repainted and modified Wellington of several versions from a Polish model. It looks nice, but unfortunately, of course, I can't put it up for sale due to copyright reasons.
A quality Wellington from S&P would make me very happy and you would certainly see a large series of my versions.
It just haunts me, scares me and gives me nightmares of memories of producing the sagging canvas effect SO many times back then.....

I think those articles say that squadron did return to Greece in 1944 and stayed there till 46 ,of course with very different aircraft.

No. 216 Squadron (RAF) during the Second World War

Bruno Has one Bombay L5857 SH C of that squadron but in later desert camo. In Greece Bombay's still had green/brown cam with black under surfaces . There are pictures of those Bombay's on net.

Thank you very much for the info and references. I didn't know any of it!

edit: just checked Wellington LN514 was built in less than 24 hours!!

Cool. Bomber Command seems to lack the love... Also would spend money on a Stirling.

Hello everyone,
thanks for all the nice additions to the thread.
I have been frantically designing these last few weeks (mostly other versions of previous models) so perhaps I should share of few of the pictures. As you might have seen in other threads, some kind people have helped with test building some of the designs.
Here are some models from my frenzy:

Those Cobras are beautiful!

[gomidefilho]

Amazing my friend!

Nice nest of Cobras! The Bristol Sycamore is a surprise, such a rare helicopter. And well, the Bell 307 is certainly rarer.

[Rata]

Yes! Yes! Yes and quadruple and even quintuple yes!

[wireandpaper]

Certainly the Bell 207 Sioux Scout is a notable addition and I believe the first on paper, and very likely the first in any polymer!

Thanks for the kind remarks.
Some of these helicopters indeed deserve more attention
