Seawinder Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I don't know if there's any way to get a definitive answer on this one: AB264 was one of the Vb trops that was delivered in basically desert camouflage and had the Mid Stone areas over-painted with Extra Dark Sea Grey. The question is whether or not the wing walk lines were restored to the EDSG areas. Thanks! Pip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Pip, I recently completed a Mk.Vb in EDSG/DE over Azure, and I chose to only show the lines on the DE portions, thinking that restoring the lines would not be a priority in theatre, Cheers, Roger 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilj Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I just flipped through my collection of Malta Vb and Vc spitfires and I really don't see contrasting wing walk lines in any images - some pix are very clear and show no wing walks so skip this, I'd say... 🙂 ilj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11bravo Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I have nothing to back this up but I have to believe that there was zero interest in restoring these lines, given the circumstances at the time. On a related note, I have to shake my head when I see models of Luftwaffe aircraft with temporary snow camouflage and the builder then adds the missing stencils on top of the white.
