Two Weeks in January, 1945

If you read to the end, a sense of fatigue wouldn't be unexpected. It will pale though when compared to the fatigue these men must have endured. I don't know how they did it.

My No.460 Sqd RAAF Lancaster is starting to look the part. Today I applied the topside camo freehand. I’m very happy with how my new Iwata HB-BH airbrush performed and equally happy with my first use of Hataka Red Line paints. A successful day!
I never was happy with the original photos of this one so I retook a few with a new lens. I think these are much better, though hi-res didn’t do me any favours with the paint job!
My VF-34 Grumman F6F-3 has had its glamour shoot and the article is posted to the main site (link in bio). The Eduard kit is a joy to build, and I’m pleased with the result.
Time to start! I’m excited to begin my Lancaster - I’ll be building this one out of the box as G-George from No.460 Squadron RAAF.
My next project will be of an aircraft that still exists, Lancaster BI G-George. It’s currently housed in the Australia War Memorial and I visited it today. George belonged to No.460 Squadron, RAAF and this piece will be a recognition of the tremendous sacrifice made by the squadron.
Sneak peek at the practicality finished Hellcat. I noticed I’ve left off one decal which I’ll put on tomorrow but otherwise it’s done. Eduard 1/48 kit painted with Vallejo MA and Tamiya built out of the box. I’ll take the glamour shots on the weekend and post up the article on the main site.
