Hi Devilfish, I spent some time on 231 OCU &100 Sqn, wheel hubs where a dull aluminium, wheel wells were white, most legs as well, but I did see the occasional black or silver one.... Not too sure about nose wheel mudguards, they were light in colour, either dull aluminium again or light grey.... Hope this helps DaveH

Looks great....nice scheme well done... Cheers DaveH

Hi Feifeitim, glad you like..... The guy who gave me the old kit said the first 3's had the old style wing, so this might explain the difference.... Does mean I'm stuck with a painted aluminium finish though..... bit boring..... Cheers DaveH

Hi Steve, will be doing just that.... got three from Hattons for a really good price, so two more to do... also was given kit of original Airfix JP... was first kit I saved for, and made.... 1964ish...will be making this as a comparison... Cheers DaveH

Hi Mike, glad you liked it.... goes together reasonably well, as long as you add the fuselage plug, and when you do, add the correct one... got a bit confused at one stage.... did help to actually look at the instructions !! Cheers DaveH

Hi Andre, I used MRP paints, they have the Swedish colours in the range.... and they are nice to use.... Cheers DaveH

Justin, yeah, looks empty, but there's the three petals of the thrust reverse system... should have taken another couple of pics to show this.... Cheers DaveH

Thanks again gents...... Cheers DaveH

Very nice.... DaveH

Thanks again gents for the comments..... Tbolt, goes together reasonably well, some filler required, one piece spine saves on seam clean-up.... enjoy !! Dave

That's very nice.....i like it a lot, nicely weathered.....

Thanks for all the great comments, slump well past, first coat on Tamiya Spitfire mk1 today.....

Thanks for the comments gents, Chris, when you get round to building this one, leave the nose wheel off until you've done all the painting and decals.... it's so flamin fragile....

This is the one that's broken my slump (I Hope)... started just Before Christmas, and finished in time for this years Bolton show. Nice kit, but not without a few issues. Finished with MRP paints, which are a joy to use. So here's the pics..... All comments welcome, just waiting for traffic warden... cheers DaveH

Its been a while since I posted owt new, been in a bit of a slump... well new image anyway, this was finished in March last year for Club 'RAF 100 years' theme. Hope you like...... ..... All comments welcome.... DaveH
