Raf Armorer Preparing Bombs

[nico37]

Hi all,

here is a project i started for the Armorama campaign "modeling a photo 2".
I se the the photo beyond, i found it on the web site "WW2 in color" and the legend tells :

"This armorer of the R.A.F.'s middle east command prepares a bomb for its mission against the Italian forces campaigning in Africa. This big bomb is not yet fused, but when it is it will be ready for its deadly work. Photo taken on October 24, 1940."

I removed the head since this pics were taken because it wasn't high enough on the shoulders.

Any feedback is welcomed
Cheers

Hi,

thanks a lot mates !

Romque: yes, i'm going to scratch the bomb too (just the one he's holding), i'll surely make several attempts because i don't really know what way i'll use...

Hi all,

here are the "near-to-finish" pics, i have to change the bom color as it was told to me that the RAF 1940 bombs were yellow or at yellow and green...
