Today we
get a twofer in terms of completions. First comes the RAF 8000 lb bomb, and
second comes the RAF transport carriage that hauls the bomb to the aircraft
(generally, a Lancaster).
Both of
these items come from the Airfix RAF Bomber Re-supply set. Neither were a
construction challenge, having so few pieces, and both were painted RAF Dark
Green. Well, except for the tires, for which I used Modelmaster Euro 1 Grey.
Decals were a marginal struggle, with the kit markings seemingly uninterested
in remaining stuck to the paint. Patience and a bit of Supersol/set eventually
took care of the situation. With all of the Hitler insults that the crews
chalked onto these bombs, I thought the one used on the decal sheet was
unnecessarily innocuous. Bah!
A couple
of simple and pleasing additions to the completed model display.
This is
completed ordnance #7 and vehicle #2 (4 aircraft, 1 ordnance, 2 vehicles for
the year
2017),
finished in April of 2017.
