Jay JaySuper job on this interesting subject. I love the little guy climbing into the aircraft too. It adds a sense of realism .
JayJay, I chose to add the crew member carrying 2 chutes to put the plane in perspective. It's gonna be part of a planned diorama for which I will use the RAF bomber re-supply set by Airfix.
The Dutch Fokker G-1 Reaper, heavy fighter. If we only would have had more of them back in May 1940....
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
I’ve heard that new-tool Wellington is pretty nice. Yours looks smashing.

God, Family, Models...
At the plate: 1/48 Airfix Bf109 & 1/35 Tamiya Famo
On deck: Who knows!
That turned out nice.
I had just read about James Ward in the past year. Amazing story
Thanks,
John
Vickers Wellington Mk.IA, No. 20 Operational Training Unit, RAF Lossiemouth Scotland, December 1940. After 20 bombing missions since Sepember 1939, it was directed to this training unit. Crash landed due to engine failure in Loch Ness but the crew of 8 was saved, except the tailgunner, who bailed out but his chute didn't open. Discovered at the bottom of the lake by an American diving party, searching for the monster of Loch Ness ("Nessie") and recovered in 1985, now restored and on display at the Brooklands Museum of Motor racing and Aviation, Weybridge, Surrey, UK.
This newly tooled kit is a true gem and gave me a great joy to build. It beats all the Wellingtons of other brands. Recommended!
And this is he real one:
