This folder contains a repaint for the A2A Spitfire in the colors of Spitfire Mk IX MA504, which flew with No 9 and 41 squadron of the South African Air Force in Cyprus in 1944. 4 aircraft (MH931, MH993, MA504 and MA792) were stripped of paint and all excess weight in an attempt to bring down high flying German bombers, working in pairs. One lighter aircraft, equipped with machine guns, was supposed to force the bomber down a few 1000 ft, where the cannon equipped aircraft would finish it off. The aircraft were shared among the different squadrons, but is not clear if they ever succeeded in bringing down any Germans.
Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the paint kit by A2A.
