      Hi

     

    I have not been around for awhile so I thought you might be interested in my latest Norwegian aircraft project, well at the period of time this model reprosents it was part of the R.A.F. The subject is the Spitfire MkIX as used by Wing Commander Rolf Arne Berg when leading No. 132 (Norwegian) Wing from Groningen, Holland autumn 1944.

    The model is the Matchbox Spitfire IX/XVI with Colorado Decals and the Extra Tech etched fret designed for the KP kit for a little extra detail.

    Here are some photo's for your comments on the progress so far

      Hi

     

    I am starting to gather information for my next RNoAF build. I intend to use the Hasegawa T33 kit and would like to know the differances between the U.S. version and that used by the RNoAF, also did they only carry a natural metal and day glo finish or is there another less well known sceme and if so what markings did they carry?

     

    Many thanks for looking and your time

     

    All the best

    Hope you like them, they have both been built in my hotel room which is not an ideal workroom and I do not have all my modelling tools to hand just the basics. Painting is mainly by brush as I can only run an airbrush from propellant cans and that is an expensive way, also the smell can be a bit much without the proper ventilation. Aircraft codes and serials will have to wait until I'm back home in December as I don't have my decal bank with me.

     

    Knut Thanks for the offer of images on DVD I will remember your offer, time scale is not important to me as I am a slow builder!!

     

    All the best

      Hi

     

    I'm new to this forum, my name is Roger Symons and I live in the south of the UK in Dorset. I am working at present in Canada and make 1/72 scale models. My present them is the Norwegian Air Force to which end I have collected kits of Gloster Gladiator, Spitfire XI, T33, Vampire and F104 single and twin seat variants. I visited the museum at Gardemoen during the time it was closed for redevelopement and some airframes were being prepared for transfer to Bodo. I'm sure that as the project very slowly evolves I will have lots of questions that I hope I can answer with your help. Lookiong forward to my stay here

     

    Roger
