barone12 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Hello Alain! I'm sorry to reply with such a delay to this topic but I discovered it just few minutes ago. Many compliments for you model first of all. Then I would like to ask you: 1) what references did you use to build your Spitfire as BR377 coded "T°K"? 2) How did you understand that the code letters were medium grey instead of white? It's a couple of months I've started to look for pictures of that airplane and I didn't find any till now. Thanks a lot in advance. Regards.

CARLO Thank you Carlo, sorry for the late answer, but I was buisy to respond you, and suddenly, no more acces to Britmodeller. And my answer was lost. Well I use 3 books and the decal sheet of DK decals. First, "Malta Spitfire Aces from Steve Nichols Osprey Aircraft of the Acex, 83 2. Malta Spitfire Vs - 1942, Their Colours and Markings from Brian Cauchi MMP Books and last but not least, "Colour Conundrum" Compendium N° 1 From Paul Lucas Scale Aircraft Modelling. For the colour of the letter, I'll try to find a picture of aircraft of the same period , somme time it is (in french) supputation. Best regard. Alain PS : I had already post a lot of Malta Spitfire, I had made 166 of them, my next one will be tomorow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain PS : I had already post a lot of Malta Spitfire, I had made 166 of them, my next one will be tomorow. Hello Alain! Thank you very much for your kind reply and don't mind about your supposed late writing: you're always on time! About the three references you mentioned above let me say that I have the first one and the third one. But I've never seen before the book from "MMP Books": does it include a picture of "my beloved" BR377 - coded T°K - from 249 Squadron as it was on the 2nd of July 1942 when it was force-landed after a dog-fight with Royal Italian Air Force Macchi C.202? I'm asking this because inside the "Malta Spitfire Aces" book there is a colour profile of a Spitfire Mk.Vc coded T°K form 249 Squadron (page 42 - profile 26), but it has the serial BP869 and the white code letters. So this one is not the aircraft I would like to reproduce. Could you please help me with a picture or appropriate profile of BR377? Thanks a lot once again. Best regards!
