Frank Williams goes to War!
An alternative on an appropriate day.
When paint goes bad and decals go awry.
Never, never, never say die.
Cheers to all of you fellow inmates and assorted lunatics!

Brian, the code letters are aptly chosen. That was my thought when I saw the photo.

I like it….what’s the scale (looks to be pretty good size). WTF was the first thing I noticed as well. Nice paint work, too.

Bryan,
Very cleaver, I like it.

Thanks, Frank, but Cleaver would never do this. He’s much too clever…

Well, we just won’t tell him.

An inventive take on this subject. Now we just need a McLaren in the ‘winged red 1’ Geschwader emblem of 7./JG 1.

Just survival, Rob. Decals, which were extensive and had no aftermarket source, were fragile and exploded. An attempt (or three) at painting the fine details proved too difficult, even at 1/20 scale.

Always have a decal graveyard-you never know what you might need;)

Invasion stripes on rear wing means … beating Mercedes? ☺️

Not this year, I’m afraid.

A couple of 20 mm on the the front would help in passing.
Looks good though Bryan.

Why not! It’s amazing what you can do from the spares box.
