Hardly horrible Helldiver

 The first quick win from the bits box is this Helldiver.  It merely needed the canopies reattaching and painting, a new propeller hub from the spares box followed by a coat of varnish.  And yes, I know some of the decals are upside down but unlike most old decals they weren’t at all flaky and there was no removing them.

  1. Decals - obviously an improvised in-theatre ruse to fool the Japanese gunners into thinking the plane was flying upside down

    That's better than any explanation I've thought of - I'll use it!
