Steve 1602 started following 1:48 Eduard Spitfire Mk.I Battle of Britain and Airfix 1/72 Mosquito modified to PR.XVI

A bargain Eduard Tempest just turned up from Amazon…. If I manage to get hold of a Typhoon (and assuming this GB gets through) then I could be in for a Typhoon, Tempest and Sea Fury
-
That’s really nice - great finish on the camo in particular
-
I bought heating oil last week at 69p per litre. That was already way higher than the 39p per litre I paid at the same time last year. Currently it’s at £1.17 per litre. To put that in context, my annual cost of c.£900 for oil has just shifted to c.£2700

I really enjoyed it as well. I think I tuned in with a bit of a ‘nothing else on, so I’ll take a look’ and was drawn in pretty quickly. Steve

I’ll follow along again John - I have a number of these early Merlin Spits from Eduard in my stash but have yet to build one. Steve -
So if DFS do you mean that the colours are dark green/ ocean grey/ med sea grey? Or do you mean a variation to DFS with azure undersides? My observation about the B pattern is not so much about reversed colours - it’s the fact that it’s a complete mirror pattern which strikes me as unusual on a Spitfire at this stage in the war. Steve
-
That’s an interesting scheme - not least that it appears to be a ‘B’ pattern which seems to have ceased in Aug 1941 on the production lines - ER318 was delivered on 9 Sep 42 so well outside this timeframe http://www.airhistory.org.uk/spitfire/p041.html I don’t think it would have been an overpaint of one colour in that case as it would [edit] probably [edit] have followed the ‘A’ pattern. This looks like a complete overpaint (but in which colours is your guess as much as mine!) Steve

Thanks Paul Based on that…. A copy has just arrived from Amazon…. No idea how that happened…. Thanks John - I’m enjoying following yours as well. It was fun seeing them come together in parallel.
