This is Johnnie Johnson's spare plane (JEJ
JR). He used this plane to transport kegs of beer mounted on bomb racks
back to his airfield, so his men could have some beer to enjoy during the
rigors of war.

This ICM kit was completed using the
Ultracast
line of goodies; seat, control surfaces, prop and exhausts. The beer
kegs were from Burnaby Hobbies (hobby shop in Vancouver, Canada) model ship
accessory parts box. I added the spigots and metal bands around the
kegs are thin strips of Bare Metal Foil. The racks are from the ICM
kit......bomb racks, without modifications.
