I got bored with doing French ones - I will do a couple more, don't worry! - and wanted something quick and easy to bang off this afternoon. Here's the result:

Black sea area, not sure of much else.
 
Give me 500 of those, another 500 of Yak-9's and Airacobras, a handful of Bf 109G's with blue swastikas and a harbour to play the role of Kotka on the southern coast of Finland and we'll have a ball! :wiggle:

I hate to say this, but I don't think it'll be possible... The model is actually not finished, and while a matt, non-reflective paintscheme is manageable, I don't think a silver one is on the cards... They are very difficult to do well even on a perfect model. We'll see...

I suppose I really should do a new Finnish 109G-6, too... I was messing around with my Eastern Front install this afternoon; the greatest number of non-Soviet, non-German aircraft was Finland. All I'm missing is a Buffalo (OK, and a really good Hawk.)
 
Is there a fix for these Bostons and the A20 instrument panel? The climb dive indicator is backwards, manifold pressure guages are wacky, and the on dash compass is wrong. TIA
 
Like I said, the model is not finished. The builder, Ed Wilson, unfortunately did not have the opportunity to do everything he might have liked. The source file is no longer accessible either, so the answer is simple - no, there isn't a fix.
 
Anybody know what armament Soviet glass-nose Bostons carried? It's a bit more complicated than you'd think... (Hence the delay. A-20s, DB-7s and Bostons are differently equipped and armed, as will be the Soviet version.)
