| RAAF Kittyhawks  Interesting picture I found of 5 Kittyhawks from 76 squadron. Intersting it appears the squadron code of SV is hand painted pretty roughly but what has caught my eye is the Kittyhawk in the top right with lightening bolt across the tail. That I've not seen before on an RAAF fighter. The planes certainly show the operating conditions they were dealing with.

| On the subject of RAAF Kittyhawks, Dick Cresswells is one of my favourites.

| I agree Wildcat I love Dick Cresswells plane. I have a die cast model in 1:72. Your 1:48 version is stunning though!
