Yes, I picked up the Old instructions.But in the first post you wrote the Tamiya #61035.
You are too kind. I would accept them with open arms and a bow in reverence!Bill, I think I have a couple of old Airfix Spit MkV trop filters in one of my spares boxes if you want one. It should fit reasonably well, but may need a bit of filler here and there. Let me know if you want it.
BTW, the DH prop had a different spinner to the more pointed Rotol prop spinner in the kit. I may have one, which again is yours if you want it, otherwise you'd need to use an aftermarket prop.
Hi Bill - late to the party on the version question. A bit more confirmation for you.
Just checked my copy of "Spitfire - The History (Morgan & Shacklady)" and this source definitely denotes ER570 as a VB with a Merlin 46. Weirdly it makes no mention of it being a "trop" version, but it does show its history including NWA (North West Africa) with the USAAF in mid 1943. Perhaps it was converted to tropical in the field upon movement to NWA? Couldn't see any other photos on a quick flick through the book.
Have to agree.Always amazed at the information we can get from our members in this forum!!!!
Puts us on the right track.
Thank you all.
Renovations is myy game!!!!Good stuff Bill. Quite the improvements.
