Completed*** spanner's 'Strange Spitfire' *** Completed

[spanner570]

Here is my stab at a Pink Spitfire. It's an old Airfix 1/72 kit, very straight forward and a good fit.

I have tried to copy, as best I can, Steve's (stona) excellent pictures on the Pink Spitfire thread.

I had to butcher the decals to suit the P.R. ones. I used some of the original lettering - a bit of licence!

All brush painted.

I couldn't resist a couple of pictures depicting this machine doing what it was built for - taking pictures!

I hope the pictures show the Spitfire the correct shade of 'near pink' on your monitor, as they appear on mine, if not my apologies.

I hope you like this offering, it's been fun trying to get the aircraft something like the original.

Thanks for looking.

I do like the colour Ron - better not show this to SWMBO coz she'll think it'll be just right for the bathroom!

Your ' in action ' pictures are always great, something I hope to copy

[Guest]

I'm agree...you nailed the colour, Ron!

Nice model and photos. And of course, different and original

Cheers

Thanks chaps. I'm on our diddy laptop and the aircraft is showing near enough white. My own in my den shows a slight pinkish hue, which is how its meant to be. I hope yours is showing the true colour!

I think it was once mentioned in another thread a few weeks ago that the original pink spitfire spy planes were very close to white, but anyway, it seems you've nailed this one

I was wondering if anybody would have a go at this-Wonderful Spit Ron, looks superb, not over done in pink and as always, the action shots are just superb!

Lovely job Ron, but not so strange...at least to me

Cheers

No, not strange at all. Very nice job Ron. The old BT-K kit converted into a PR1G. Good work.

I like it, I like it a lot.

The props on the model I have are not in great condition, this may be an alternative to fixing them with putty as it really does look just fine...
