A Lancaster is escorted home by little friends - from my 1/144 World War II aircraft collection. The Mosquitos were arguably the best heavy fighter/ light bomber/ night fighter/ strike intruder of WWII.
A Zero escorts a G4 Betty bomber. This bomber was called a Type One Lighter by Japanese pilots as the self sealing fuel tanks have been ripped out to save weight.
A Fiat BR20 encounters a Royal Navy Martlet (Wildcat). BR20 bombers launched a daylight raid on Harwich in the Battle of Britain, escorted only by CR42 biplane Fighters. The incredulous Hurricane pilots of Fighter Command handled them extremely roughly.
Is that what you were buying at Cavalier? Any other goodies?...I spent about £130 on some old bits, some new bits, paint and the like

This is the marvelous post that I have come over after huge searches. I am really thankful to you for providing WWII Aircrafts information.
ReplyDeleteNice aircraft you got there! All from WWII I see. Man that was the real war. Frankly I believe that such technological advancements in aviation could not have been achieved without it. Greta collection of ir craft.
