Fighting the wrong enemy

Well, I must to construct the Reggianne 2000 Héja Hungarian for my MiG 29 Hungary 70th anniversary scheme as well.

It has been some time since I post something here.
I have contemplated to build the Martin Model 167 in Vichy colors for some time. I even got the elusive Maryland designed by Aaron, but it was rather detailed (complicated) for 1/400. Fortunately I found the simpler free model by Edi from 2008. I just recolored the cowling and tail yellow with no stripes, and added a white flash through the fuselage. Let's see how it progresses.

Great! The Maryland is one of the more neglected WWII bomber designs.

Always glad to see a Martin bomber under construction.

I guess I need to get that Maryland back up with eCardmodels... I have all the files. Also have the Baltimore.

Fine tiny model my friend!

Thank you Garry, Don, Ryan, and Pericles for stopping by.
Ryan, looking forward to your Martin Maryland and Baltimore.
Here it is the final model from Edi in 1/400, with minimal modifications except for the recolor, and gluing digitally the upper and lower wing sections.
Ps: Maybe next a Potez or a Vickers Wellesley

As I mentioned before, it is time for the obsolescent looking Vickers Wellesley.
Having proven to have a decent range of almost 2000 km, it soldiered on to participated in the East African Campaign against the Italians.
It gave valuable service despite its vulnerability to interception by the also obsolescent looking biplanes of the Regia Aeronautica.

The model is from Murph reduced to my usual 1/400, and as far as I know, the only one in paper.

Another very fine airframe, nice to see.

[Don Boose]

Great Model Pablo!

I have always liked the (to my eye) odd looking Wellesley.

The East African air campaign was a kind of aviation museum.
