The stage is set for the first raid on Darwin.











There will be a half dozen flights in the first raid. Lots of smoke and sinking ships.

Unlike other Pacific Air War games, we have an actual B-25B that is appropriately stripped of unnecessary weight. We are also departing from an accurate Hornet model.

Men on deck, tail numbers and nose art not done yet.

Here are a few shots taken during paint testing. About three hours to go then the Hornet needs to be repainted to the right shades. Edward is working on Japan/Okinawa and I have to place the factory models. Lots of work for two missions. It's not going to be boring.










The last one off: Bat Out of Hell
