  1. This is a great story PK. It reminds me of the B-24 crew of the South African Air Force that got shot down over Warsaw whilst ferrying supplies for the resistance fighters during the uprising. After the war a memorial was errected in their honour. A great story and tribute Pk. The Mustang looks great!

    Beautifully done P-51 and I am touched by the tribute that was paid to the crew of "Double Trouble". A true honor and homage to brave fighting men. Thank you.

  7. Two things, P.k., first, the Mustang looks terrific, those colours really suit it, very neat job. Second, the story, it really adds something to the model and helps to bring home to us the reality of war.

    the survey found Where i'm search grave buried beck gunner perised in remainds .
    later torn from the wreckage and buried in an unmarked grave Quisling troops SS Slowenishe Landswheer/Domobranci .which the corpse before it even robbed
    Fortunately, it looked Tito Partizan informants are marked grave and it was only a few years ago a document came into my hands.And I found it immediately informed the USA embassy and have already sent MIA crew
    to make sondage and DNA analysis.
    I hope that this year are moved to America.
