RAF Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1

[DAVE "THE DUKE" ARMSTRONG]

I generally use mostly rattle cans to paint my cars (more area to cover) but I use my airbrushes for the aircraft, all the camouflage.

DISCLAIMER
Rick had always wanted me to post some of my planes, but I just didn't- for one reason, most of them are old builds, and the pics I have were taken long ago, before I had a digital camera, and before I was posting things on the websites, and before I knew much about lighting and HOW to set up/take pics. They were really just for me. Lastly, we all know about the troubles of cleaning/dusting models. If there are wires on an aircraft, I generally leave them off, because here in the desert, they're just magic dust collectors, a headache I DON'T need. So, if you'll bear with me, I'll start posting a few old and not great pics.

This is the British plane the RAF Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1, first of many versions, entered service in August 1938. A good fighter, later variants became even faster and better armed.

Strange but True - Early engine cut out issues were solved by the application of "Miss Shilling's orifice" which kept the Spit combat worthy until 1943.
