David Womby Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) I am building a T.10. The only one I can find that has NO windows above the wings is NC425. I need to model one without the overwing windows as I am using the old Airfix kit and it doesn't have those windows. Can anybody point me at a photo of another T.10 that doesn't have the overwing windows, please, because I'd rather build one with the faired over turrets if there's such a config.. I know I need to enlarge the tailplanes and alter the rudder but is there anything else I need to do (do not say chuck it and get the new one!). Also, the kit has a hedgehog exhaust for the starboard engine but a straight one for the port engine. Seems odd. Anyway, does that config of exhausts apply to the T.10? Thanks for any help. David PS. I am going to cross post this in WW2 section too. Edited January 6, 2019 by David Womby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 This photo shows RP468 as G-ALUH . It returned to its military markings in October 1949. https://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/airliners/3/8/4/2373483.jpg?v=v40 She was used for radar trials and this is possibly one of the aerials under the wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks but I want an 'in service machine' with roundels and from that angle, I can't be sure she had no overwing windows. Neat pic though - civvie registration! 4 minutes ago, canberra kid said: No help what so ever, but a very nice photo of RP590 over Blackpool. John True, John. No help at all but worth seeing anyway.

Neat pic though - civvie registration! In the first photo you can see that she has only a small window. You need to click the link to Airliners site. She was only a civvie for a couple of months with Airworks for radar trials over Norway. When she reverted to military markings she would have had roundels as well as the serial number.

Radpoe Spitfire Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 There is a colour photo of a Gamston based T10 which was one of the decal options for the Italeri kit (coded Y7-J). This one appears not to have the over wing windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Womby Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Thanks for all the help. I am going to stick with NC425 in silver with yellow training bands and turrets. I have clear pics of her. Did the postwar T.10 have duel pilot seats and controls? Would the cockpit be black or the wartime 'interior green'?
