Beard Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) This is my attempt at 'White 19', the subject of a very famous photograph of 19 Squadron RAF, the first unit to receive the Spitfire. The victim kit is the Airfix Series 2 boxing with a scratch built early-type pitot and the protruding gun barrels represented by stretched cotton buds. Brush painted with Humbrol Enamel Dark Earth, Sovereign Hobbies Dark Green and, Tamiya acrylic Flat Aluminium. The decals are Illiad Design. Should you wish to view the WIP, it's here. As usual, I can see all the mistakes. Oh well. (Edited to correct spelling.) Edited July 10, 2016 by Beard 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Iconic! When I think of "early Spitfire" it's either this one or the picture of FZ-L and friends that comes to mind. Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
