Sgt. Salvadori

What happened to the Sgt. after he force landed?
Presumably he became a POW?
Is his plane still in a museum somewhere?
Thanks

I bought the Italeri the other day.Was surprised when I opened the box and found a nice little photo reference manual inside.
Mind you,it doe's advertise this on the front of the box :oops:
The kit looks OK to me but then I can't build models to Chris'es standard :wink:

Italeri CA311

I just bought this kit today.It says on the box it's a limited edition 1/72.
I'd like to know if anyone has built this aircraft,and where can I find more info. about it?

RA aircrew uniform colours

I think this has probably been covered before-what I want is just a general overview of what colours to paint the standard Airfix/Italeri etc pilot moulding.
Bear in mind I don't make exhibition standard models!
Thanks Steve :(

Fiat G50Bis

I have got an Airfix version of this kit.The original was released in 1967,mine is a lot later production,about 1987 or so.
Two questions-any comments on the kit itself and what doe's Bis signify?
Thanks
