41(F) Squadron in 1/48 - Airco DH5

[PhilJ]

The hasegawa gr7 and harrier II night Attack are revel kits (or the other way round) reboxed.


I was in a kit store and looked at both the revel was £10 cheaper but exactly the same except the decals where you receive the 41 squadron scheme so it was a no brainer.


I've looked into them and they build into very nice kits (whether mine will be is a different matter), there are some fit issues but what o wanted to ask is, is there any obvious ordinance I could add that would be in keeping with the squadrons use?


Cheers

Take a look on Google, Phil - plenty of shots of the Harrier with 41, showing what stores it carried; that's what Ill be doing!

A fine addition to the collection Andy.
How many are you up to now?

The current count is around 20 models. The intention is to have a table at Telford next year for the Squadron's 100th Birthday. I've succumbed and will build a Harrier, Tornado F3 and Typhoon, even though, for me, the Squadron ceased to exist in 2006 with the demise of the Jaguar; I don't count Reserve squadrons as real ones! That said, I will NOT be building a Tornado GR4 - it's a bomber, and this is 41(Fighter) Squadron!!!

That's beautiful, Andy. The rigging looks great, and the 'wood', and the PC10 colour looks spot on to me.

The revell Harriet (hasegawa plastic) builds into a nice model. Look forward to seeing your version of it.

A superb addition to the Squadron history line up Andy.
