Another aviation oddity from the 1/300 collection of Wg Cdr Luddite now.
Luddite writes - Ju86Z 12 Sqn SAAF East Africa 1941. 1:300 Navwar (conversion).
The SAAF converted these to bombers from a batch of 17 airliners (and 1 bomber) supplied to South African Airways before the war (fitted with Pratt & Whitney Hornet radials). They saw their first action against the Italians in Abysinnia on 16th June 1940.

It is interesting how kit can end up on the 'wrong' side sometimes!
