HobbyBoss painting schemes are suggestive at best, so to say...
Having them suggesting RLM66 on Luftwaffe camouflage, where the RLM75 should go...it's enough for me to look elsewhere.
Go with the other sources on the internet, I would suggest looking up more multiple sources.
And as far my RAF knowledge goes, after the Battle of Britain this camo combo was not used anymore, but I might be wrong.

PS. "Oark earth" shoudl say enoguh... 😄

Komoras, I can assume that they (HB) were guided by this: airliners.net/photo/..9-Spitfire/0843874/L

I think this one sums it up best 🙂
Both is correct, depends only which one you want to represent - pre-august 1941 or post-august 1941.
(Thus concluding, my BoB related comment is wrong) 🙂

I'll take a seat.

Me too...

Interesting, couldn't find any trace of DE/DG on Polish Mk Vs.
I know of Mk Is and IIs being repainted in Polish squadrons, but I'd assume this one has been repainted into DG/DG before being delivered to the 317th.
Still, there's no proof.
Very cool to see you added the undercarriage covers, what a silly mistake by HB 😄

Łukasz, I was guided by these photos. If the guys from Duxford had painted a real Spitfire like that, then why can't I paint a model in such a scheme? 🙂

Sure you can 🙂 Keep it up 👍

Looks good so far! The boxes under the Wings could be the cameraports for the later PR variants with no big gunns.
I would cut it.

Łukasz Gliński
Agree w/Hans-Jürgen - checked my 3 completed Spitfires (Mk I & V by Airfix and old KP Mk IX) and none of them sports such a feature

Guys, it looks like these are retractable landing lights after all. They were installed until 1942.

Dear mate

first of all, welcome to the community of SM. Secondly, many thanks for the interest in three of my kits.

I assume you want to buy all three Vampires you mentioned. True?

Accordingly, I have calculated the cheapesat postage for all three kits to Spain.

I can offer you:

- 10 Euros - without insurance, without tracking - very slow (10 to 15 working days)!
- 13 Euros - without insurance, without tracking - faster (4 to 6 working days)!
- 17 Euros - with insurance, with tracking - 6 to 10 working days

So please select whichever shipping mode is fine for you. Please note that the postage for only one kit would be the same as the postage costs I mentioned are valid for parcels from 0,1 kg thru 2,0 kg.

Please let me know about your decision. Until then, I will keep the kits reserved for you.

Dear Andrea
Well, the first idea was purchase 1 unit, but as I am new in this issue, I do not have seen all the kits are yours.
Realy I am interested in the Mk1, but if you adjust a little the price, I can buy 2 items.
The expenses seems a little expensive, because I can send until 2 kgs with tracking in Europe for 12 euros with ordinary postal mail, or private agency like GLS.
But, if you send with packlink, the price is 8,50 euros approx.
I can say to you the place on my city and with packlink send the items here for 8,50 euros.
If you accept, I can buy the Mk1 for 25 euros if you send with tracking number or I can pay 40 euros for Mk1 and T11 included shipment with tracking.
I hope you can adjust the price a little bit, and we can do business.
Anyway I looking more items.
I can send a list to you? Maybe you have or can obtain to sale.
Thx in advance
Vicente

Dear mate,

first of all, let me say that I basically understand your attitude. BUT: you must know that I never make money of postage. The tarriffs I have found for you are 100% the prices I actually would have to pay. There is no cheaper rate available. Sorry. I know that postage rates especially in Germany and Austria are quite high - but there is no way to avoid them. Fine for you that you can send packages up to 2 kg for 12 Euros. Well, that´s Spain - not Austria.

Imagine, that milk in Greece can be bought at half the price compared to that in Spain. Would you dare to go to a Spansih Supermarket and tell them "I want to buy milk, but I only will pay you as much as the milk would cost in Greece". What would happen? In the best case, they would lough at you; in the worst case, they would kick you out of the shop. The same is true for the postage: I have to pay the official tarrifs whether they are cheaper in Spain or not. Prices of postages unfortunately are non-negotiable, as you might know.

Packling is a service not available in Austria. So I can not use this.

Accordingly, I can only disagree with your suggestions. Sending one kit all in for 25 Euros will leave me with a sales price of 8€ for one kit. That is not acceptable. You are asking for a discount of 50% for one kit?? No, no, a thousand times no! And 40 Euros for two kits would mean that I would get (40-17) 23 Euros for two kits - that would mean a discount of 7 Euros (more than 20%).

Sorry, but I can not accept this. I hope for your kind understanding.

Once again, terribly sorry.

Andreas

Hi!

Thanks for your kind understanding. Unfortunately, I cannot avoid paying shipping costs of 17 Euros - as I have mentioned, packlink services are not available here. So there is no way out. I have the following (finbal) offer for you: one kit for 31 Euros and two kits for 43 Euros. As you can see, I have reduced my sales prices a little bit. Hope that helps. Preferred payment: money transfer to my bank account (SEPA payment) - PayPal only in case you use the "friends/family" option in order to avois their fees.

Hope that helps

Dear Andreas

So, if I send to you 33 euros, you will receive more than 31 euros that you need.
Please let me know if you unferstand it and send me the paypal acount to make the payment.
