So got some work done on the F-89, and found an Airfix Shorts Tucano which I will do as Irish Air Corps

Geoff

Not got much done on the Scorpion as I started thinking about Irish Air Corps models - I flit from one to another. Decided that as they looked at twin engine German a/c that a He-III would be a good choice for MP and transport. So no internal bomb racks as that is the cargo compartment. With the 2 external racks for cargo containers or bombs. I thought that the RL time line would mean an early model and as I had a Roden He-IIIE I thought -YES!
After 2 weeks of very hard graft I had the fuselage together, now if only the wings would fit!!!!!!!!!! :banghead:
So my back story is the IAC obtained a Spanish a/c second hand just around 1945/6 before they were re-engined.
So a Tamia He-IIIH is now on the blocks.

Well I have finished a Fokker D-XXI, an early Avia, and a late Avia as Irish Air Corps.
The Heinkel is built but I am still dithering about the colour scheme, but leaning towards light grey over light blue.

Also got the ex-Luftwaffe F-86 in Portuguese Ultramar war light grey with scorpions finished.

Ah well back to the F-89

I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.
