OK, I'm done. I think.

I decided to resurrect an old Tamiya Spitfire that I built many years ago and I left it in a grey primer coat. It was now time to paint it and start practicing my British Camo schemes. I used decals from the Eduard 11143 kit. So here goes …
Spitfire Mk1 - K9953
South African F/Lt. Adolf Gysbert “Sailor” Malan, no 74 squadron, RAF Hornchurch, Essex June-July 1940
27 outright and 7 shared victories.
I think I read somewhere that he changed 74 squadron to start using the Four Fingered Formation.
Famous for his Ten Rules for Air Fighting.
In the 1969 film the character squadron leader “Skipper” played by Robert Shaw was based on “Sailor” Malan.
