| 2. After a visit to the Town Museum at Mildenhall I saw pictures and a sample of the fuselage fabric. I became interested and went home to find the various bits of this 'toy'. | 3. I mended all the Dart holes and fabricated an undercarriage and cockpit. I also glazed the cockpit. I got a coat of beautiful Post Box Red Gloss by Humbrol. | 4. I am pretty convinced that this was a good match to the real colour. I got some decals that approximately matched the codes on the pictures. Then I hand painted the rest of the markings. | 5. The Grosvenor House was the name of the Hotel that sponsored this entry in a England to Australia Air Race between the wars. De-Havilland built several DH-88's for the race. |
