  1. Now let's start with some alternative history, in a parallel universe, far, far away... America’s isolationist policies during WW2 resulted in defeat for Britain and the Allied forces. Without the influx of arms Russia was unable to respond to the Nazi invasion, capitulating in the west in late 1943. The Soviet state retracted to the east leaving vast tracts of land to be enveloped by the Reich.

  2. This came in a Frog/Airfix box with the code NF-4002 as HMS Prince of Wales, but the mouldings and instructions (with additions) are the Airfix 1/600 KGV even down to the ship's name on the stern. This and the de-gaussing cable were removed and the UPs changed for 2pdr pom-poms :wink:
  3. The aircraft was designed and built by the Royal Aircraft Factory (R.A.F.) as a reconnaissance aircraft. This is A4501 of No 5 Training Depot Station, at Easton-on-the-Hill (later Collyweston, which was later joined to RAF Wittering). The R.E.8. and was pictured on 25th September 1917.

  7. I've just done an old Frog Arado 234. The airframe was sprayed with old Klear and I used the kit decals except for the Staffel/Kg markings put on with Microset and Microsol.
