Hi everyone,
I started to assemble this Airfix kit:

A brief history:
In early April 1945 ‘Dusty’ Lane claimed one of No 3 Sqn RAAF’s few victories on the Mustang III/IV when he shot down an Fi 156 over Yugoslavia.
He flew KH676 regularly throughout the latter part of the month, including twice on the 25th in attacks on canal lock gates.
The following day Lane attacked a ferry crossing in it, despite being opposed by heavy flak.
The Mustang 111/IVs of No 3 Sqn RAAF proclaimed their Australian ownership by having their fins painted blue,onto which the unit applied the stars of the Southern Cross.
