I acquired the PM Model Spitfire Floatplane kit and planned to build it. That decision didn't survive the first hour... the kit is crude and lacks any detail, it also looks undersized when compared to a completed 1/72 scale Spitfire in my collection. My first thought was to use the new Airfix Vc as a basis, then looking at my books I realised that the only Mk IX version, MJ892, might be more interesting. I will use the floats and rudder / under fin from the PM kit, the rest will be the Airfix Mk IX. Colours will be standard grey/green as the aircraft flew in 1944, but the question is the undersurface. There are few photos, but IWM HU 1675 shows the aircraft clearly with a yellow P in a circle between roundel and tailplane, and the tone of the P matches the underside colour on the lower fuselage. So I'm going for Yellow.... More as it happens...

Good day to all! I continue my favorite topic of seaplanes. Set on Brengan is a set of old ordinary "Spitfire V" from "AzModels" + conversion kit (floats and vertical tail) from "Brengun". I used as an additional set of photoetched parts from the same company. Chipping applied by brush 000. Painted with thematic sets of Slovak producer "Mr.Paint." By the way, the paint simply delightful. My airbrushes were very pleased))). Colors too correct and therefore not as contrasting as hoped for greater watchable.
