Hi there

It's great to see women pilots finally recognised in kit form for the crucial role they played during WWII. Hopefully there'll be a follow-up set depicting the ATA. All being well, we'll see this set in smaller scales too.

All the best

I second Rowan's words. It's great to see some figures of female ferry pilots, but for me please in quarterscale sooner or later.

If you could see my table on model expos you would know that I'm really into this matter.

Here WASP "Bomber Lady" Shirley Slade, who flew B-26 Marauders and if I'm not mistaken also the B-29. Hats off to her!


But as Rowan said, I would also like to see some BATA "Spitfire Ladies" and maybe even the most well known of them all. Thumbs up for your super cool sun glasses, Maureen Dunlop!


With all this enthusiasm for WASP and BATA women, please don't forget the german female ferry pilots, like Vera von Bissing or Beate Uhse, whose job was as hard as on the other side ....
