A Little Christmas Theme…

[AeroplaneDriver]

Almost done with Mr Johnny's Skeeter.  Lots or artistic license with the markings.  The illustrator of the book never gives a clear view.  The best pic in the book seems to show a serial in larger than normal font that starts "DZ...".  It SEEMS to be DZ3131 in the best illustration but that is too many numbers.  I had a 1/48 Mossie sheet in the spares box with DZ383 and another that had a 7 in it so some cutting made up DZ373 because that is not too dissimilar from the book pictures.  No squadron codes appear so I left them off and added the "JK" initials for Johnny Kavenaugh on the right nose. 

I thinks its as close as can be expected from the illustrations.  Still to go are the spinners.  Since the book pics are B&W I may add a splash of color and make them red.

Hoping to have them ready on the base flying over solid fog by Wednesday at the latest.

All done.  Not the best pic, hoping to get some better ones over the next few days if the holiday schedule allows.
