The inspriation for this build came from the book South African Air Force at War where this aircraft ei featured on page 129 with a colour picture.

Image

The left side of the air craft seems to be very dirty.

Image

Model is the Tamiya 1/72 model. No. 2 Squadron insignia and number I made myself.

Image

Lt. Papas was killen in this aircraft on his first mission, shot down most likely by anti aircraft guns.

Image

In order to make an easy comparison between aircraft I add some information about unit and performance to the display base.

Very nice. =D>

(Just the figure in uniform looks more RAF than SAAF.)
