The Little World

And apparently that was all it was. They captured this one on a Tunisian airfield when the Germans retreated, gave it a quick desert pink and grey spray job, and stencilled it for USAAF and RAF markings.

Then they flew it as a unit hack – until someone wrote it off. Bad airplane? Bad pilot? Not familiar with the controls…still marked in German? Who knows. It flew long enough to get in the history books so that was good enough for me.

The paint is tan, not pink, but there is a little Mr. Color No.51 Flesh mixed in. I’d have darkened it if I was going to matt it out but I just settled for semi matte varnish. No arms carried.
