Here is my tribute to Sailor Malan. The kit formed the test subject for developing my vinyl masks. It saw some rough handling, a few drops to the floor and numerous strip downs and resprays. I had borrow the from windscreen from my spares box as I cracked the original. Not my best build but here it is. All markings were sprayed using my own masks as well as the camo pattern The base is part of a set of bases that a friend and I are now making to order. Comments good and bad welcome. P.S glued the top signalling light on after the pics were taken I finally got around to fixing the aerial and put the signal lam[p on (top). Thanks for pointing out the error. I also noticed a smudge on the inside of the canopy hood which I removed - thank goodness it was on the inside

Well I decided to start a new project. Photo's to follow. 'Sailor' Malan's Spitfire that he flew with 74 Squadron in 1940, ZP-A (K9953). I am hoping to record the progress of this build, unlike my last project (DB Airfix Spit) which I have put to one side. It just seemed to keep going wrong. Perhaps every Spitfire project starts with a bit of debate, so here goes. I have Southern Expo 70th Anniversary decal sheet which shows a Sky Blue. Now we all know that the Stadard 1940 Scheme started of as Black/White and the went to Type S (Tamiya XF-21). I am cuirious as to the correct underside colour for Malan's Spit. I am sure a lively debate will follow as I prep the first set of photos.
