    Nice metalwork MkV..Frame 11 always looks impressive on it,s own..With the paint job,is that to make sure the American AAA gunners “not fire at it” or the opposite??

    LOL! It is, strictly speaking, Frame 10A (still the pilots seat mounting frame but 13.5 inches further forward). The yellow primer is covered with a layer of interior green now 🙂

    Wasn’t BP a communications relay centre? Along with Stanmore Park?

    It was the HQ of Fighter Command.

    Great shots Lee, the Extra Dark Sea Grey on SX336 looks the correct shade for once – do you have any more of the two Seafires together. Did they fold the wings of 336 too?

    I am not sure that the rear hood is significantly different but they were ‘tailored’ to fit at DMA.

    I suppose the only “authentic” schemes for two seat Spits with two standard canopies joined by a clear section would be Soviet red stars as per Spit IX UTIs

    Yes but the ‘purists’ would say that the front cockpit should stay in it’s original position if done in this scheme.

    She sure was a long build.

    Started in 1990, they all get there in the end. Here is a shot of some of the bits I made back then.

    It’s a genuine scheme, but that of a single seater.

    Yes, it represents Mk Vb, ER570, flown by Major Robert Levine in Tunisia, June 1943.

    Let’s hope itl blows through during Saturday in time for the Sywell show

    Hopefully quicker than that or it will have a significant effect on the Chipmunk fly-in on Saturday.

    Four months on – this must be finished now. Has anyone seen (and maybe even have photos to post of) the results?
