Not much to see at the moment, I only started a couple of days ago, wings are stripped :-)

Xoar do a close 3 blader, but I think it's a custom order only, could be a route though?

Chris,

Nice Spitfire. I like the brown/green camo scheme. Was it actually used in WWII? I am building a Spitfire and always liked the BOB color scheme, but I can't find it on any of the later versions.

Thanks,

Hi Ed B
You are bang on the money brown and green was not available on the Mk 9 but i like it more so i just did it! You are the first person to notice out of all the experts in my club i salute you. It gets a bit worse than that as NE D is my sons name and the serial no is my old frequency! None of which anyone has noticed also. I am not one for anal detail its just got to look right. If you like brown and green just do it.

All the better that the squadron letters are a tribute to your son. That's great!

There was one Mk. IX that had the brown/green camo--that's MH 434 that was repainted in those colors after restoration. All the other Mk IXs had the grey/green camo.

Enjoy the plane!

There have been quite a few restored Mk.IX Spitfires that have carried the early war "sand/spinach" colors, particularly for movie roles such as "Battle of Britain" and "Piece of Cake". While not correct from a historical perspective they would, of course, be suitable for scale model purposes. Of course if you're not planning to compete then it's really a moot point and you can paint your Spit in whatever colors you like!
