Roll out 26 Dec 21. WWII ID Plus models are fun make, take up little resources and can be done in under 12 hours not counting drying time.

Looks great Lou. Built the plastic version in the 1970s. One of my earliest model building attempts.

Thank you Dave. I also did the Monogram 1/48 Kingfisher some 50 years or so ago.

Mine was the MPC profile series with three decal options, probably Airfix originally. Some of those older kits were not the easiest builds, except for maybe building character.

[Boomerang]

Another excellent result Lou.

Well done model. The yellow wings really stand out.
Now you need to build a model of the Iowa to work as a stand for it.....

Thank you Fraser. 1/72 Iowa.

just short of 12 feet long and 1.5 feet wide at 1:72. It would be quite a centre piece indeed.
Actually there is a 1:72 diorama of a portion of the Missouri under attack. At the end of the sequence of pictures, there is a good look at the attacking Zero and how the spinning prop was modelled. Very interesting how it was done.

Or just the immediate portion of the deck with the catapult.

Model airplane News had a drawing of I think a Leoning OL ( ??) the number escapes me at the moment. I assume the catapult would not have
Changed that much.

Still another top model Lou.

Cheers
