Hei, friend.
That coded Spit has a great place in my memory.
It's one of my first Revell models in 1/32 scale.
A lot of years ago, friend.

MkI spit

N96HBK

I did a repaint of the free MkI spitfire some years ago for a Battle of Britain function. I have the MKI minus any letters. If you have any graphics software, you can put any letters on you want?

Would this be any good to you? If so Ill send you a dropbox link for you to grab them.

Regards

Dong-woo -

Spitfire Mk.I DW-K was assigned to No. 610 Squadron (County of Chester Squadron) RAF. No. 610 was originally a Royal Auxiliary Air Force squadron (rather like the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve).
World War 2 - No. RAF 610 Squadron, May 1940
http://www.raf.mod.uk/history/610squadron.cfm

DW was the squadron code assigned to No. 610 Squadron. "K" was the individual aircraft letter.

No. 610 Squadron and DW-K flew from Hawkinge Aerodrome in July 1940 (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...f4430277c1.jpg) and were stationed at Biggin Hill during the Battle of Britain. https://scarfandgoggles.files.wordpr...une_1940_1.jpg

Dwk

DWK

Find below a link to my dropbox spitfire workshop. All the items are from from various sites. I've done some repainting on a few and the odd adjustment here and there. The MK22/24 is work in progress so it may be poor fitting in parts.

Click on the file and save them to your desktop in the right format, IE .jpg or .BMP or PDF etc.

LINK

Enjoy

Thanks!!! Since I only use vectors, I'll observe the bmps carefully and modify the original MKII files. Again, thanks!!

OK Buddy sounds good

I think we could open this up to all readers, anyone fancy putting DWK on the MKI spit in the link (Or mess around with any of the spits), feel free.

They build quite well, Here's the 64 Sqn spit under construction with the PR XIX behind:



Don - You got any good links on 64Sqn?

Enjoy
