Jan Zumbach's Spitfire VB

Found this pic of it whilst having a browse – not one I’ve seen before.

Damn Airfix confusing the hell out of me – their 1/72 depicts BM144 with later-type roundels (unless it did fly like that?).

BBMF – next time AB910 is due for a repaint, can we have her like this?? 😀

Or maybe BM597 for a couple of seasons!

After all she has the external armoured windscreen and Rotol 3 bladed prop. 🙂

I must admit I quite liked MH434 when she was painted as SZ-G and the PK-K during the 1997/8 season! 😀

Btw, Voytech, what is the title of the book which features Zumbach’s Spitfires?

Cheers

Paul

During her time as RF-D, BM144 has flown first with early and then with late style roundels. Also the Donald Duck motif was altered (but not at the same time when roundels were repainted).
