All is fine Steve.Don't worry. I suggest picture uplading of maximum 830 pixels in width, It will allow to watch them on a screen fully.

Nice Spit! What scale is that Steve? The canopy makes me think it might be the Hasegawa 1/32nd kit.

It is indeed the Hasegawa kit. Done as the oft repainted and repaired BR487 (AN*V) as flown by our friends of 417 (city of Windsor) squadron R.C.A.F.
She looked like this.

Beaut pic, and you've done a great job replicating the worn and patched paintwork.

Thank you gents. I hope my rather inept photography will help TheGonz sort his colours out.
Cheers

Thats about the sweetest looking Desert spit I've ever seen Keith 8)

Hell Il change to enamels to get those colours - Gonna order some soon , whats the names of the colours you got?

Check out the Life Color Acrylics. They have a line specifically for WW2 British Aircraft (including those three specific colors). 4.70$ per bottle from tankratsafv depot - free shipping to the continental US.


I used some their Italian Interior Green to get a couple of kits started and this stuff is brilliant. Flows like a dream, clean up is a breeze. I'm about to order a bit more.

It's a photograph. I believe it was once made into a poster, though I've never seen one. I'd love to know who the pilot was but had no luck there either.
