I appreciate the positive comments. The nacelles were definitely firmly fixed in place, but there was a question as to whether or not the newly-attached cowlings were going to slide off, as the glue was still wet when Lil and I rushed to the sunroom table to snap the photo as the clock neared the eleventh hour.
Eventually, I will post another photo (taken at a distance with a soft lens) with the landing gear doors attached (to avoid any further confusion with the Burpleton-Fomby FRS KCB reverse induction mod). Obviously, at the time of the photo, the aircraft had just been repaired and was under going test flights preparatory to final repairs and installation of armament -- as I have said before, you can find a prototype for darned near anything! Keep 'em flying! Don |

this is probably the squadron 455 RAAF
Quote:
I was looking for information about Hampden bomber and landed on your board. Since we do not know English, I am helping each translation with Google Most likely he is right, CharlieC. This would involve Squadron 455, which was code UB. In Poland abbreviation of the bad connotations, it was the political police in the years 1944-1956. And perhaps the model designer wanted to avoid bad associations. In the end, Maly Modeler was then issued for the youth, now less popular. Obviously - the era of computers. A content description of the issue that Hampden was also used to fight the terrestrial, maritime patrols and night raids on Germany. Hence, perhaps this compilation of painting. And torpedo and camouflage land in one plane. Besides, there was little in Poland professional books formations allies in the West. It was also important to choose as nice painting pattern to encourage young people to modeling. Therefore, the colors were not always in line with the actual camouflage. Black bottom in the model never went out well. There would attract attention at all, he would not have to even notice. And is not the point in modeling. Faithful reproductions of museum is different. I do not remember doing that Monogram aircraft models in dark colors. I've seen some of them were imported into Polish in 1972-75. In our model has to please and hence as the possibility of printing issued in interesting colors. best regards Peter |

Hello, Peter. Thank you for your friendly and well-informed comments.
I really enjoyed building this model and talking with other paper modeler friends at the time, so it is nice to see someone reviving the conversation after more than seven years. I am sure that you are right about CharlieC's conclusion that the Hampden was meant to be of 455 Squadron. Charlie is a very careful and through historical researcher, so his conclusions are always well-supported with evidence. I am also sure that you are right about the reasons why Mały changed the squadron code and the color scheme. I very much appreciate the additional information you have provided. Best wishes. I look forward to seeing more of your posts in the forum. Don |
