I intend to build in the markings of Spitfire Vb, AR430. I picked up a piece of the engine from the original aircraft at the Duxford airshow resently and thought it might be something different to build a model of this aircraft. Any extra information regarding squadron codes,colours, propeller type( I think it should be a de- havilland) would be much appreciated.🙂

Thanks guys and thanks for the info Guido. I've been a bit quieter on the modelling front this year Christian, but the nights are getting darker and I feel my man cave beckoning 🙂 The only problem is I've just had an operation for something called Duprytron syndrome on my right hand,so I hope it doesn't hinder me too much. I've just had the dressing removed today and my hand doesn't look pretty 🙁

Thanks guys. Hi Jan,the masks are from a company called Miracle Masks. You can buy them in different scales and if careful can use them a few times.

Thanks Guido. I agree,I little bit of history makes for a more interesting project. I enjoyed doing the research on the net, but could not be 100% accurate with the colours and markings. I believe it's as close as I can get.

Thanks Jan. I'm pleased with the overall result,although I'm still striving for a model that I'm 100% happy with. I don't think it will ever happen lol

I am, thank you very much. Taking the modeling slowly, so I don't get shaky and mess things up. LOL.
