Ditto...

Oh... I've forgotten about something... the first shot in the first post here might be of Spitfire Mk.VB RF-D BM144 during May of 1942.

Here are other coloful images of EN951 and Zumbach's emblem....

Also here is a shot of his early Spitfire with the Ducky emblem...

and a little bit large first shot....

and an addition to the one above...

Here an interesting picture of Spitfires Mk.VB of the 303 Polish Squadron. The first one in the background is Spit Mk.VB RF-D BM144.

Thanks for the photos. Will be a great help.

You'r welcome.

Nice selection of pics Wojtek!

ajcmac · Dec 31, 2011

Already Interior and engine parts with lights, shadows and a wash.

Now paint the instruments and controls.

Wurger · Dec 31, 2011

Looking good.

vikingBerserker · Dec 31, 2011

I agree!

jjp_nl · Dec 31, 2011

I like the nice and subtle shading on those interior parts. Excellent job right there! Tempting to take out my HB Spitty V as well....but I'll keep it in the stash for a bit. Maybe I'll take it out for the 'Fav a/c GB'

Nice work so far.

Vic Balshaw · Jan 1, 2012

Coming along nicely.

Nice work here , I'm looking forward...

ajcmac · Jan 2, 2012

Although not visible I decided to paint the oil tank (I think).

The side panels ready.

Now complete motor assembly.

The plastic seat was an extra item, not a replacement for the metal type; your aircraft might have had a metal seat, and nobody can say, for sure, otherwise. Photos of Zumbach, in his cockpit, are inconclusive.

Wurger · Jan 2, 2012

Looking really good. But these oxygen bottles on port side should have been painted with different colour in my opinion.

Airframes · Jan 2, 2012

Yes, they were mostly a 'silver' colour. Also, just noticed that, as usual, the undercarriage selector lever has been moulded in the 'Up' position. The oxygen bottle on the starboard fuselage side was normally black too.

A very good eyesight Terry. I haven't noticed that. A good point.

Thanks for the info on the engine and exhausts ajcmac and a very nice job on the shadowing.

Wayne Little · Jan 3, 2012

Looks pretty good though....

ajcmac · Jan 3, 2012

Repaints the bottles of oxygen.

The engine is already complete. Are missing exhaust pipes. Only after gluing the fuselage is that they are placed.

Airframes · Jan 3, 2012

Nice work. However, the larger, twin oxygen bottles are silver, the small bottle (painted silver) is black.

Wurger · Jan 3, 2012

Yep ... you've got us wrong I'm afraid.
