Workbench Wednesday: been busy lately edition.
I fixed the split in the fuselage on the Mitchell, and even managed to mix up a good color to patch it with. Got decals on too. No specific plane to model it after, just a generic North Africa scheme. I just need a name for the nose now.
I've also been working on the mountain for Ober Holdenburg. Lots of drops and switchbacks, lots of little scraps of foam all over. I really need to convert to hot glue.

Action dated 24 September 1977. Hellman of Hammer Force cover, artist unknown. The pose is reminiscent of a splash page featuring Karl Schafft, everyone's favourite member of the Abwehr, by Francisco Fuentes Manuel that had appeared in Warlord in February that year.
Both are similar to an Airfix WWll German Paratroops figure that had first been released in 1976. The figure is in a running pose with his left leg raised off the base and holding a MP40. He's the main figure on the box art, which I think is by William Stallion, below (but facing the opposite direction) and fifth from the right on the row of figures at the bottom. It's possible both drawings were based on the Airfix figure as I'm sure artists then did base a lot of drawings on model kits and the like.
Treasury of British Comics.

on january 10, airfix announced a new tooling of the eurofighter typhoon. in interviews they mentioned at length about the impacts on shipping that the houthi attacks on cargo ships have caused.
two days later, the UK uses the eurofighter to bomb the shit out of yemen. coincidence? i think not

A nice Marvel UK ad for the Airfix Stuka prizes in Fury No. 5, dated 13 April 1977. The main image is the classic Airfix box art by Ken McDonough (d. 16/01/2002) from 1976.
