The story is excellent. You do realise this could be the start of something. A fellow Melburnian, John Baxter has written no less than five books using the premise of alternative history to cover the Luftwaffe (3 books), the Kriegsmarine (1) and the RAAF (1). I have the
first of these and it is a good read. It also features colour photos of models related to either directly or indirectly in the tales. Some are his models, others are not.
Seems like you're ticking all the boxes to compete with John - stories, photos, models.
