WIP Observer corp 1940

My latest work, based on the famous photograph of St. Paul’s . A 1/35 Stalingrad body with all the other parts from the bits box. His base is scratched from plasticard.

How the Observer Corps helped win the Battle of Britain

Could you identify a Messerschmitt 109 at a glance? How about estimating its height? That was the challenge faced by the Observer Corps during the Battle of Britain. Now put your own skills to the test with our Observer Corps Experience.

Very interesting subject! Early WW2 Observer Corps helmets seem to have been black with "OC" stencilled on the front (although the guy in the photo appears to be wearing one of the later tan coloured helmets).
