RE. the recent Tamiya Spitfire IX, could someone recommend a resource, (print, web or where ever), that would have some unusual colour profiles for that mark? As much as possible I'd like to build it straight OOB but would like to do something other than the standard camo paint scheme. Decals aren't a problem, I can make my own. Any leads would be appreciated.
TIA
This guy makes a compelling case for a nice desert camo, mid stone and dark earth over azure blue. But he may be slightly fixated on the new Airfix Spit kit... or possibly a Hurricane.
Model building humor....... I wouldn't have thought it possible. That was great. I guess we shouldn't mention the 1/24 Mossie....
What about post war ones? Quite a few European contries flew the Spitfir Mk IX post war, both camouflaged and in allover metal finish.
BElgium, Norway, Netherlands Denmark just to name some - and also eastern Europe, Israel etc.

Wasn't the all black Spit with the red lightning stripe on it, the mount of the head of the IAF in the begining a Mk IX?
I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it...
