Carvair Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 This Spitfire was flown for just three months and was shot down early February 1941 in France, pilot at that moment was Geoffrey Hill. It crashed near St. Omer. I had kept the weathering to a minimum because of it's short flying career. The extra's i added are new Barracudacast 5 spoke wheels and the oilcooler set and a RB productions lovely seatbelt set. A very familiar photograph of this aircraft shows it with a Rotol propellor but there is a picture from this aircraft at the crash site being investigated by german pilots that shows a bent blade from a de Havilland unit. This information can be found on www.aircrewrememdered.com. The models decals are from Revell and i find them a joy to work with. Best regards, Jan 2

Carvair Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 Thank you all for the positive comments and likes. @jaseGill i saw that you are doing a Buckey, i bought the Greek version two months ago and i love the looks of this aircraft. But the next one coming of my shelf wil be another 1/32 Spitfire but built as a MkI in a battle of Britain color scheme with black and white undersides. 1
