Well, here's the first of my Downfall builds. It's the Magna Blackburn Firebrand and the damm thing fought me all the way through the build process but I beat it in the end.

displayed as 812 NAS aboard H.M.S Venerable in January 1946 just after the squadron converted from Fairey Firefly 1's It's loaded with 8 60ib RP for anti Shipping or ground attack duties over the beach head if necessary.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Beautiful model :thumbsup: beautiful plane :thumbsup: that made me dream of a Twin-Firebrand (at http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,20326.450.html )

I think we will. I've currently got 2 on the go, both RAF and another couple in the planning stages.


And many thanks for the kind words
