For this GB I'll be building one of my favourite WWII fighters....



It's one it's way to me now - can't wait!

Cheers!

There ya go!

Oh, very nice!!

Great choice!

Thanks Gents.

I've been trying to do some research one this one as my knowledge of the war in the pacific isn't brilliant - but I have to say I can't figure why this has got a white tail - as the images I can find of the FG don't show it. If anyone does know why it'd be great to know.

White tails were adopted by land based Allied fighters in the south west Pacific theater as an air ID quick recognition feature. P-39’s, P-40’s, and P-47s all could be found with this coloring in 1943/44 in New Guinea and the Solomons. Also diagonal white stripes and leading edges could be marked on the wings as well.

Very interesting!

Great kit too

Thanks for the info Carlos!
