Dear All,

Particularly as I am researching this subject, with a view to doing some models. Thought I would start this thread for any suggestions or information that we could share with each other.

Good data base I and Dennis came across, obviously not all Recce Aircraft, but some very interesting stuff, and it is well researched.

Dear All,

Just had close look at Roden Mohawk kit in 1/48th....

What a lovely kit, well laid out, lovely soft plastic, cracking decals, lovely finish to the model..

Must admit makes me more inclined to look at other models they make...

PC 6 Turbo porter being first on my list....

Colin
