Found a USAAF pilot of a B17 called Steve Butler. Parachuted out of “passionate witch” too low KIA
11th January

“The Passionate Witch” was a popular book first printed in 1941 which is where I bet the name came from. No photos exist of 42-29961 nose art. So I’ve done my best

Progress report on Passionate Witch

If there’s one company I’d fully recommend to any hobby modeller, artist or hobbiest in general… getting is HobbyZone.pl’s organisers!
I’ve had mine a fair few years now and absolutely love them!
I’ve had to reduce my work space recently due to expecting another child… reduced my desk from 2 to 1 space.. but these are just so adaptable.

I’ve not been asked to post this nor sponsored. Just credit given where credit is due
