Lovely set up Erik ! Sqdn leader Demoulin's book is a very good read ! Guess some inspiration for your work came from it.
Congratulations

Now the fourth scene is complete too. All four squadrons of 123 Wing that were stationed on Ursel B67 in november 1944 are represented.
Thanks for your appreciation, mates; Gordon, it is not that little : 30 cm x 80 cm
