To be made as a Spitfire V with the spare decals from the old Pioneer/PM boxing, and spare Italeri Vokes filter to make Black 5512. I believe that this aircraft was allocated to the 5th Fighter Regiment (alongside its component of Fw-190s) hence the black spinner (although some sources give it as red). From the one photograph I have been able to find, I believe that this aircraft is fitted with a Dehavilland propeller (although some sources suggest Rotol.) I took this propeller and spinner from the Italeri boxing and made a new backplate for it. This aircraft was part of 30+ transferred from RAF Middle East stocks in July 1944. I have not been able to identify the original RAF serial.

I made Skagen Ind, also have Niels Ebbesen and Valdemar Atterdag to finish.

And handsome builds they are! I don't know when I will pull this one out of the stash and build it, I'm mainly using this function as an aide-memoire for future builds at the moment.

I've decided to pursue another option for this kit, but I will make Skagen Ind one day....
