Not saying right or wrong but from "Aero Detail #8 - Spitfire Mk.I~V", ".......the L-shape pipe in front of the radiator fairing is the fuel vent (photos 125&129)......".
Geo, yes this is one of my references. Also, not that Eduard is correct either but their very nice 1/48 MK IX which Steph just built has instructions for this vent and the instructions state to put it in front of the starboard radiator only. I looked at Steph's MK IX and he has this vent/sprayer on the starboard radiator. Maybe Steph can comment.
My pleasure David,
P804X will clash with real Spitfire production numbers (if it matters to you)
Finding a number near that which isn't a Spitfire but may be something else is easy enough (P8001-P8009 for instance)
If you like I can try to find a number nearby which doesn't clash with anything? Jack Bruce's book has all of them.
(As an aside..not a happy little bunch the P804X serials..... the list reads like a bio of Henry VIII wives )
