Global Scale Modeller

Hi all,

I'm just about to finish off my first model build in my adult life (Airfix Spitfire Mk1A 1:72), and really like the idea of taking part in the upcoming D-Day GB. As I only live down the road from Maston airport where some of the Hawker Typhoon's flew out of during D-Day (http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/ra ... ar_two.htm), I thought it fitting to build my own Typhoon offering for the D-Day GB.

I'm going to stick with Airfix 1:72 as I am still starting out and will also be brush painting only. Also the Hornby/Airfix HQ & visitors centre is also only just up the road for me, so I have to contribute to the local economy. I've attached the image of the model box.

Using the following after-market decals from XtraDecal: MN317 ZY-B 247(China British) Sqn 124 Wing RAF Hurn 1944 with D-Day stripes - see attachment also.

Can someone please confirm that this will meet the D-Day GB requirements?

Thanks in advance,


Simon

Yeah this quallifies for the build.

RAF Hurn is just up the road from me.

Though now it is Bournemouth Airport.

As far as I can see, this should be ok - as long as you are using the invasion stripes option, and the aircraft was noted as being in a squadron that flew as part of D-Day, then I don't see a problem. Obviously Lee, Paul and GB moderator have final say on the matter
