What did we Dutchies have with those long cockpits? In the Dutch East Indies we flew with Martin 166 bombers, which also were equipped with ridiculously elongated cockpit canopies. I guess it make the Battle fit in perfectly...
Nice work on the Battle, Tom. I love the spinner and the pre-war camouflage. You did a great job on that.

Just one thing: Where is the photo situated? Apart from some slight slopes in Limburg (where there wasn't any active airbase) The Dutch Mountains only exist in that song by The Nits... (geintje, you did a great job. (-: )

Another great one Tom.  Not so much a What If but "You mean they didn't?"   Do you perchance have a Dutch DB-7 to put next to it
The Leng Plateau is lovely this time of year

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

Lovely build, Tom.  Very eye catching 👍
