Although I prefer its older cousin, Barracuda, this one also has its "shmek" (there's no translation, the closest one would be "feeling" or "looks").
C'mon, lets see it

I have a really awesome one of Dutch Firefly's on Biak (New Guinea) - I will need to hunt it down in my crypts of chaos!

What a coincidence...!  This is the book I am working on and I am really looking forward to seeing Srecko's work on this!!

There will be three profiles of Dutch machines:

http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r214/Paul_Bradley/firefly/32-SMALL.jpg
Fairey Firefly


FR.1 - 11-20, 860Sqn, RNNAS, Soerabaya, 1949

http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r214/Paul_Bradley/firefly/33-SMALL.jpg
Fairey Firefly


T.1 - 11-12


http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r214/Paul_Bradley/firefly/34-SMALL.jpg
Fairey Firefly


FR.4 - 008/B, 7Sqn RNNAS, Biak, 1957

But as he hasn't started on them yet, I am open to other suggestions! My only stipulation is that, if possible, there isn't another profile published in another book - I would like to have different profiles where possible.

Paul- no coincidence here, this topic is dedicated to your book but did not mention that as well I am not authorized to do that. And as well this is very first time to work on Firefly, all you see here will be for your book

I also like it, it is more streamlined but also it can be later converted into the early version
