Hi All, Quite a while back (pre airbrush!) I made the 1/72 Fujimi FR Mk XIVe kit, now sadly unavailable. I'd found a great photo of the Spitfire (NM821 – OI*L - 'FOCHINELL'), taken from the front/stb I think, with the photo caption something like 'Named after that great ancient Scottish war cry'. I didn't get the joke immediately – I must have been a lot younger! I used decals from the spares box and hand painted the name, a bit rough and too large. And now Airfix are bringing out a new FR XIVe, and it would be good to model the same aircraft in 1/48. But despite having far too many Spitfire reference books, I cannot find that picture. There are other photos of NM821, but that one seemed to be a good angle and quite close. Maybe a book I borrowed from the library. Can anyone help and remember which book the pic/caption might have been in? Thanks Charlie PS – I don't suppose Airfix will do the do those markings! 😉 PPS - Missing u/c door! where's that gone!

I don't know why but I've always been slightly fascinated by the Swift.
