Post by: Davos522 on July 07, 2023, 02:40:00 AM: Gorgeous build, Rick. I've always loved that scheme, my Dad missed Torch by a matter of a couple of months, but he had Wildcats Over Casablance and I read it a couple of times. I actually began research for a painting of an F4F dueling with a Curtiss Hawk 75 with the old Lafayette insignia and the red/yellow Vichy stripes, but it would have been a little too colorful...

Thanks Andreas. I sold a couple of things and got the Arma F4F-4. So another Wildcat in 1/72nd scale will eventually appear in Operation Torch Markings ::)

Thanks Dave! The book is great, IMHO. I plan to do some of the other squadrons involved using the Arma kit and probably an Airfix Wildcat with Folded wings. I also want initially do a Hawk 75 in the markings you describe as well as a D520. Oddly I can't seem to locate either. I guess they are not in current production runs from anyone :(

Post by: Davos522 on December 06, 2023, 12:36:41 PM: Nice, Rick! I absolutely love these airplanes, and glad you're making progress on the N African project as well as the BoB.

I've been driving past a house for several years now a few miles from me that I'm pretty sure has a mural of an Export Hawk—Vichy stripes and all—painted on the garage, heading straight at you (the cowl is definitely red and yellow). But you only get a 1/5 second glimpse of it as you pass, looking straight down the driveway. I think it's time to stop and find out if I've been hallucinating...

By the way, if anyone can help I need Lafayette Markings for this kit. A SPAD XIII Indian Head or P40-F, P-47 GC II/5 Indian Head .

Post by: lone modeller on December 20, 2023, 05:11:06 AM: Only just found this Rick: I had forgotten that you are hiding in this corner these days.

My father was involved in the Torch landings - he landed at Bone, (now Anaba), with the field hospital of which he was a part. I have always liked the Wildcat since I built an Airfix kit of one in the mid-1960's. You are certainly making a first class job of these - the US Wildcat in particular. I thought it was 1/32 scale when I first saw the pictures. The Vichy aircraft will be very colourful and contribute to an exciting collection.

Stephen.

Post by: Davos522 on December 20, 2023, 08:41:57 AM: Beautiful job, Rick! I wish I could help out with the decals, but my 1/72 decal stash is still MIA after a move about eight years ago.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, both my sons have gotten back into WWI modeling, and are contemplating building Dr.Is, so I pointed them both to your Fokker streaking thread. I absolutely love those photos you posted of the black & white and red & yellow-marked a/c a year or so back. Stunning.

Weathering was done mostly with Oils. White, Burnt umber, Mars black, Cerulean blue, and Windsor blue. All were either mixed together or worked into the paint individually.

Thanks Stephen. All of the US Carriers had the Dauntless Dive Bombers as part of their Air Groups. The Escort carriers had half of their Scout/Bomber groups equipped with the Avenger. The Ranger, CV-4 had only one Avenger flown by the CAG of Air Group 9. That is the one I modeled.
