Both aircraft are shapeways with Shed roundals top and bottom wing of front Hawk, only bottom wing of rear and numbers/letters by Decal Details sheet LW-102.

Both paint schemes were taken of wings palette.

They look better now I've re-varnished them to take the shine off the decals.

Nice Hawks Neil, can't wait to see them in action at Doncaster and when you start your campaign.

If you don't have it already.....

I have been reading about 5 pages a night and making mission notes. I did not have any more than a cursory knowledge of the subject so I am enjoying learning new things.

I placed a Shapeways order to take advantage of the current free delivery offer - 2 Ki-10 Perry and 2 Curtis Hawk III for China, 2 Nieuport 52 and 4 Bf 109B for Spain.

AIM order is next - A5Ms, G3Ms, I-16s and a pile of other stuff.

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 09-24-2017 08:56

I'm adding 2 HEIII-b they're close enough to A's for the Chinese. And some KI-4, Aichi D1A1, and some type 95's for the Japanese. To finish the order some Polykarpov I15's. Then I'll have enough for the 1938 start oh and some Ki-10's like you.
