Hmmm, I do have a soft spot for all the "Flyin' Finns" and I must have a closer look on this kit at my LHS.
But I must correct Special Hobby here. Not Hans "Hasse" Wind is the most successful finnish fight pilot, it's Ilmari "Illu" Juutilainen, who is also the most successful non-german fighter pilot in the war over Europe. And I have the decals of his famed BW-364 in my decal stash. Another reason to get this kit ....
Thanks for the news, Rowan and thanks for being 10 years the "CO" of the Aeroscale ship!
