The concensus is that modelpictures are well-come - if marked as such in
subject . .

Maybe it's "OK" as a Franklin Mint diecast, but it doesn't hold a candle to
a properly built plastic kit.

Would this be anywhere near qualifying as what you mean Brian?
I've been waiting for an excuse to post the pic for a while now, it was
taken while the model was suspended in front of a white-ish wall having
given the prop a quick spin. I'm just a little disappointed by the under
wing light/reflection. A standard plastic kit completed by my brother.

A Hellcat with DDay invasion stripes? What
Hellcats were flying in the ETO?

Wasn't the Hellcat known as the Martlet or some such when used by the poms?
I think the FAA (Fleet Air Arm of the RN) called them that. Dunno if the
RAF operated them.

As this pic is of a model in British markings, should we not refer to it as
a Martlett then?

That was the F4F. Our Wildcat, their Martlet.
