Recovery Set completed


Recommended Posts

Firstly, thank you to Ratch for the advice on suitable colours for the Recovery Set. Secondly, thank you to Airfix for producing a thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying model to build! Rather than a blow-by-blow account of the build process, I'll just say it was fiddly and at times quite a challenge, but it was one of the most enoyable builds that I've done. 

So here's a picture to start with:

I've added a few figures from other bits of the diorama that I've been working on over the last few months, but otherwise, with the exception of course of the aircraft being recovered, it's very much OOB.

The aircraft was modelled as LZ-X N3035 of 66 Squadron at Kenley, which was seriously damaged on 29th September 1940, and apparently took ten months to repair. The tarpaulin cover was made from a paper handkerchief folded, and soaked in PVA, then painted once the glue had set.

So here are a few more pictures - thanks for taking a look and hope you like what you see!
