Thank Ian for running the GB, Iโve enjoyed taking part ๐
My build is now finished, it represents an aircraft of No.68 Squadron RAF flown by W/Cdr Max Aitken from RAF High Ercall, Shropshire during April 1941.
Max Aitken was the son of Lord Beaverbrook, who if you werenโt aware was the owner of The Daily Express and became Churchills Minister of Aircraft Production during the early part of WW2.
Max survived the war as a fighter ace with 6.5 kills and ended the war as the wing leader of the Banff strike wing (Coastal Command).
Anyway the kit itself went together well, I was a bit dubious about the multi part cockpit but it went together reasonably well with a bit of care, most of the joins thankfully being on areas that were later painted.
I used dot filter technique with oils to weather it just to add some variation to the black (dark grey ๐) surface which looks good but doesnโt show up too well in the photos.
So after all the waffle here she is ๐
Thank you for looking ๐
Cheers,
Geoff.
