El Alamein...The Turning Point
Greetings all
Hope everyone had a great Christmas.
I thought I would challenge myself and build these three 48th scale "queens of the desert" in the same time frame as the actual battle, 80 years ago , October -November 1942. I [...]
More Hawker: 1/48 Eduard Tempest II, Pakistan 1949
Arriving too late at the end of WWII to see any real combat, the Hawker Tempest II proved its mettle in the Far East and Middle East circa 1948. When the British left India in 1947, the bulk of the remaining RAF Tempests left behind were [...]
