The Hickstarter is continuing to be a great success! I thought I’d add some pictures of actual combatants at Arnhem and the figures they inspired. We’re committed to make this range as authentic as the Arnhem Heroes range.

1931 - RAF Kenley.
Painted with @vallejocolors metallics and 502 oils from @AKInteractive . The kit went together beautifully. Just the odd bit of detail added like the aerial posts on the wing and some cockpit detail you can’t even see!

While I’m waiting on some replacement decals for the Matchbox Siskin. I’ve started on a AW Whitley from Airfix that’s been lurking in the stash. I’ve got decals for a Costal Command mkv. I’ll be using 3d printed decals for the interior for the first time. @mechanicae.bsky.social
