I have magnet based and undercoated the RAF aircraft for Desert Spitfires today. These include four Spitfire FR18’s, six Hawker Tempest Mk VI, two DH PR.34 Mosquitos and a single C-47 Dakota. The latter doesn’t actually play a role in the game but I had one spare so thought, why not? The Mossies are unarmed photo recce aircraft and have to make it across the length of the table to win VP’s in the game, whilst the fighters are there to protect them and to shoot down the Israelis and Egyptians if they try to get in the way. I don’t know what I’ll do with the Dakota but I’m sure I can fit it in somehow. This is about the maximum size for each of the forces in the game, much less than I’ve done for each side in MiG Alley, which means I should be able to get the Israelis, Egyptians and British sorted out sharpish? I’ll start painting the RAF planes over the next week or so, although I’m back at work tomorrow so will have less time to spare.
