Erwin Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Just a small question. Was the black still used during the BoB ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 14 minutes ago, Erwin said: Was the black still used during the BoB ? No. It's just box art.. Box art shows the black port wing and sky band introduced in November 1940 till April 1941, with Sky on the rest of the underside. This cause no end of confusion, as pre june 1940 there was the black/white split undersides. I really recommend reading these as they are very good for how the camo and markings changed. https://boxartden.com/reference/gallery/index.php/Modeling-References/Camoflage-Markings/01-Supermarine-Spitfire https://boxartden.com/reference/gallery/index.php/Modeling-References/Camoflage-Markings/03-Hawker-Hurricane the rest of the series are here https://boxartden.com/reference/gallery/index.php/Modeling-References/Camoflage-Markings They are old, circa 1970, but are still overall very good initial primer references on the subject, covering all the basics, which is a lot in itself! In particular, they have detail of camo scheme patterns, and roundel sizes etc, all in one place PS you asked about the Defiant above https://boxartden.com/reference/gallery/index.php/Modeling-References/Camoflage-Markings/08-Boulton-Paul-Defiant https://boxartden.com/reference/gallery/index.php/Modeling-References/Camoflage-Markings/08-Boulton-Paul-Defiant 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The centrally divided black/white underside was used until June 1940 and the black port wing on Sky underside was introduced in November 1940, neither would be appropriate for a BoB aircraft Cheers, Stew 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus Tura Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I have a small question, not about dates, but places. Are aircraft from any UK base OK? I'd like to do something Scottish. If aircraft based in Scotland won't do I can always do a 602 or 603 squadron plane in the southeast. So, not the biggest deal of all time, Thanks, Alan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, @Putty Animal indicated the question was for a friend who was going to claim to be Canadian. As for me, I'm, uh, asking for my wife, who was born in Poland, and will be building her, um, first model, as a 303 Squadron Hurricane. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugle07 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Room for one more in this GB? Sure I can think of something appropriate as it's the 80th anniversary. Geoff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I've got an Airfix 1.24 Spitfire that came to me without a box. It's been daring me to build it for years now. Best I get it out the loft in preparation then! All together now... "Help yourselves everybody, There's no fighter escort..." Tony. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyW Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) At my local Model Club we had a Christmas draw recently. I was lucky enough to get a 1.48 scale Tamiya spitfire! It looks like I have two entries for the GB now. 😀 Edited December 8, 2019 by TonyW 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I would like to declare for this one. Propose to build the Airfix Spitfire MkIa and Messerschmitt Bf109E-4 Dogfight Double. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just after any advice on if that would work? Bit of a change of plan I picked up a Fujimi 110 at Telford, I’ve just picked up a Tamyia new spitfire for £20 posted. So Spitfire rolling onto a straight and level 110 is now the plan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
