| Spot on Red One! I feel a kite from 'ErPrG 53', 1944, coming on! Wayne, I'll dig some stuff out and e-mail it; got loads of colour profiles of the 56th, and colour shots in another book. Might get it done tonight (Thursday), if not it'll be by the weekend. Don't know if you'll need it , as you'll probably know already, but I have the M.I.S. build and review (2 builds) for this kit, pointing out any minor errors, and which cockpit floor is which for the various block numbers. Shout if you want that too.

| Snapped this one up as well on ebay for a few pennies....  Thought that I'd do Kenneth Walsh's F4U-4 "White-13", should it be some time over on the PTO/GB....Not too many F4U-4's saw combat in WWII, even less numbered "13"!

| *settles down* I don't know why it's labelled an F4U-6, as it's a British -1D. The F4U-6 was actually re-designated the AU-1, as it was an attack plane.
