Any suggestions for this camo pattern??

Ian if noone chips in I'm sure I have some stuff on aircraft captured in Denmark. I seem to remember that some aircraft captured in Norway (Gardemoen ,Vaernes etc) transited through Copenhagen too but I'd need to check that. Memory,particularly when one's hearing is being assaulted by the amplified caterwaulings of the aforementioned Irishmen,can be a fickle thing.

Cool Kastrup as in Copenhagen? I wonder if any of the local history buffs over here know any thing about that.Edgar, you seem to have a good handle on this, but it was only MY opinion that I thought it looked Photoshoped. As you correctly pointed oout Photoshop was not about those days. How ever photoshoped does rather tend to get used as a generic term as it's easier to say/write than Digitally edited. LOL. This could also explain why it "looks" false to me. A strait line painted onto a curved surface normally distorts, the outline of the EB just look to strait.

I stand corrected .

Sorry if I appeared to come on a bit strong, but I've had a running battle, on this single airframe, with our club's Luftwaffe expert (who's never wrong) over the last 20-odd years, and we're talking about someone who only builds Allied a/c if they can have black crosses adorning them, and for whom roundels on a Luftwaffe a/c are an abomination.

Fair comment. I do know that you are very likely one of the more knowledgeable Spitfire experts on the forums. You have probably had a good laugh at a couple of my efforts here.

AS far as Fockers in RAF markings, I have even built one which is also on her. It took me almost 30years before I built a proper 'jerry' !!!

'Nuff about that.

Do you Know any thing about the Kastrup landing?

1.) As I haven't come near to finishing a model in over ten years, laughter would be most unfair; I occasionally wince at some "modern" interpretations, which have the airframe looking as though it's been left standing under a sewer outfall for a week, but I have the distinct advantage of having read the wartime papers about how the aircraft were built and then maintained.

2.) Not a thing, sorry.

Most kind. If ever I need a few tips, I know where to go and who to ask.
