Another plane for you! This time, one version of the Spitfire.
With the future emphasis on the North African campaigns, I thought I would try out some desert camo (Rich has the more traditional green covered already).
This is also a very fun pattern, with lots of neat colors.
Some comparisons with the P38 Lightning.
More to come!
I was working from a number of photos, including this:
Lovely work on the paint job as always, but I think it might actually be a Bell Airacobra - the engine is situated behind the cockpit (note position of exhausts), and the wings lack the graceful elliptical silhouette of the Spitfire.
ReplyDeleteDo I win the "Spot the Deliberate Mistake" prize...?
; )
He he... that's why I said in the text that it was not quite a Spitfire... a variation on a theme :-)
DeleteVery nice, But is definitely a P39 Airacobra. Your trying to be crafty and catch us all out! :-)
ReplyDeleteJim isn't to blame, Rich is, he gave him the plane, but you all realize it is about painting.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely about the painting. What beautiful work too.
