Chris.

No problem. I'll stick to partial screen shots and reduce the size some more in future.

Triop.

I was planning a build tomorrow but you beat me to it.

I see from the pictures a few changes are needed.

• 1. Extend colour onto nose flaps.
• 2. Extend colour on wings to go under fuselage.
• 3. Extend colour on tail wing flaps.
• 4. Extend colour on fuselage side down to meet wing colour.

Other than that she looks good.

I'll get these updates done and send them over.

She looks real good.
Hope you don't mind me posting those pictures, maybe I interfered to much in your project :-\

btw, I've given you a section on my homepage, hope you like it.

one more question, what program do you use ?
reasson for asking is that the f-5 was still in pixels and the spit was not.

lol btw, you can see how easy it is to miss small details when working on a paint job, happens to me all the time :P

Thanks for web page section, I really appreciate that.

I'm working with Photoshop CS. All work is done in pds with several layers and when finished, I do a "save as" in bmp. Don't know why the F-5 and Spit would be different.

Triop.

Just had a thought. :o

The Mk 1 Spit has only one under wing air intake, located on the starboard wing.

The LF VB Mid East has ans additional intake under the nose. It may also have only the one under wing intake, not sure on that bit.

It may be worth adjusting the model plans to suit so the build and the colours are different.

Also how may variation do you need for a set. I have info to produce 3 more if needed.

Spitfire U.S.A.A.F. 31st Fighter Group (Version 3)

Camouflage is the standard Ministry of Aircraft Production Pattern No.1 in the Temperate Land Scheme.

Main colours will be Dark Green and Dark Earth on the upper surface and an under surface finish of Sky/Grey.

National insignia are normal.

I will be using the Airfix/Humrol paint chart to get the colours to give the Spit a slightly different look to the 603 sqd colours.

WOW! you are cruising

[JT Fox]

Things will slow down. I'm building a metal shed at home and fell off the ladder.

Hurt my ankle, cut my right (mouse) hand in 4 places, one a very bad cut, and jarred my back.

Apart from that I'm OK. LOL
