HI All
I have a pic. of an Lavochkin La-7 with a mouth and teeth and would like to find the kit or whatever it takes to create this as i am starting a collection of a/c with mouths or at least would like to. I have an A-7 and of course P-40 after the LA-7 will be the F-4 then probably the A-10 anyway any help is greatly appreciated and any a/c you can think of that had mouths especially the odd balls. Thanks, Kelly

Hi Kelly heres an odd ball one for you.
Sharkmouths on medium bombers are uncommon, particularly when as striking as that on this Blenheim Mk IV, Z9585, when used by 89 Squadron, a Beaufighter-equipped nightfighter unit, as a squadron `hack’ in the Mediterranean. Here it is some time between June and late October 1942.
Probably acquired unofficially, the aircraft wears a question mark instead of a code letter and survived until 27 October 1942 when it was struck off charge."
Can't remember where I find this.
Ciao

Hi Kelly!
He was a member who was participating to the Campaign but broke his hand meanwhile. Of course I awarded him a ribbon for his special artwork!

Wow! Looks like the left cross didn't quite land where he wanted it............
Probably another cause for it.
Cheers!
