Hello everyone... I started my R.S.Tuck collection with his Vb in the Spitfire STGB. My goal is to do one of his Spitfires from 92 Squadron flown during the Battle of Britain. I will be using Airfix’s 1/72 Mk.I but at this time I am still trying to nail down codes ?
Its possible he flew another GR coded Spitfire, however the one represented by the decals was lost in France in May. 92 Squadron refirmed in the U.K. After the fall of France and codes I think were changed to QJ. If thats accurate I'm trying to find codes for Z3040 QJ*Z or another QJ aircraft that he was known to have used. Those would I believe to be R6616 QJ*X, N3268 QJ*Y, or R6613 QJ*R. So one of those four aircraft are what I am looking for. Im temporarily using a set of Sprue shots from the web as Im waiting on the kit to get here.
Please feel free to ask questions, post comments, and add thoughts. Please feel free if you have info on Tucks planes from the time frame of the Battle, please let me know.
