Finally completed this model.Im not totally happy with it,but then I never am.I messed up the paint on the top wing. So I had to respray that and use some roundels from my spares.The rigging was hard to get straight because I used thick fishing line.Ive tried weathering it a bit as these aircraft look pretty beat up in photos I've seen.Ive modelled this aircraft as one flown mostly by Fl Lt George Burgess in 1940 during the defence of Malta.This aircraft was one of six left behind by HMS Glorious when she left Malta to take part in the Norwegian campaign.In this aircraft, George Burges registered the first success over Malta when he shot down an Italian SM79.He shot down two more aircraft in N5519 and was awarded the DFC.
