Spitfire T Mk9/PV202 broke cover today in its new markings and colour scheme of a 19 Squadron Spitfire that operated out of Duxford during the Battle of Britain. John Romain took it for a throw around over Duxford during the morning and in the afternoon departed for Antwerp.

How can you say that Cees!
To be honest, I saw it yesterday, and it looked nice. As long as its next livery will be of a Schreiner one, I am more than happy.

Here’s the real one, in case you’re interested:

This is a “proper paint” application rather than waterwash. Interesting observation by Daz re-B of B film camera ships…
spitfire productions perhaps?
Nice scheme although it does look strange on a TrIX.
Fitting tribute to those brave souls of fighter command 70 years ago.

Interesting choice, reminds me of piece of cake and Perfect hero.
Would have been nice to see a B.o.b film scheme though………..

Beautiful and highly relevant this year…..well done all!

Should’ve put it in modern RAF training colours. Imagine the resulting double-takes with it parked next to the Tucano in BoB colours…! :diablo:

Be interested to see it in a ‘what if’ scheme i.e RAF yellow training bands on overall silver !

Yuck!

I also liked the cheerful green Irish colours, its a shame the owner tired of this refreshingly different authentic livery. Great pic from Mark12:)

I feel this 1 should’ve been left in the Irish air corps colours, was such a nice change to all this dreary camo 🙁
God we need more Mustangs over here :diablo:
Dusk on 13 January 2005, first flight, using an Ixus pocket camera, at which point I decided it was time to dump the 35mm big Canons. 🙂

Wonderful work ..again.
And as an aside there will be an increase in “Spitfire ” sightings by the non experts this year, two display RAF Tucanos have been given camo schemes with codes.

Fantastic paint scheme.
By: GliderSpit - 14th May 2010 at 21:28
Very nice pictures. Spit looks great. Was nothing wrong with the Dutch paint scheme though 😉

Looks like the rear seat was free! Any chance of a lift? :diablo:
Nice!

Gorgeous but then aren’t they all?

Fantastic, looks like a model it is so perfect!

Maybe a ‘Marmite’ scheme?
