A New Spitfire On The Block

I have no clue what you are talking here. Is this a repaint for some model, a whole new model on the works or what :isadizzy:

David,

I'm pretty sure it IS the JF one! But that paint is just awesome! Let's just hope they redid the VC as well!

Guess it is time to take the JF Spit V out of the hangar!! :jump: I've always found the clipped wings version the most beautiful Spitfire there is. Probably because my country used to operate it!

Can we get an L?
Can we get an I?
Can we get an N?
Can we get a K?

What's that spell?? LINK!!!!

Take care,

Dumonceau
 
Thanks for the positve comments all.

Yes, it is the JF MKV, but with a brand new correct & authentic paintjob! (Well, as authentic as the model & mapping will allow!)

Not quite finished yet, but I will upload it here when ready.

And to point out, not my work. Credit for that has to go to my Dad who did a few repaints for the FS2004 AH/JF Spitfires, which can be found in the SoH Library.

Cheers

Paul
 
I'll look forward to it, and any others you like to convert. One query: what is the rear side of the radio like when slid out? On mine, that face only is a blank texture.
 
As of March 1944 the Belgian RAF Sqn's 349 and 350 also flew the Mk.VB. Oh to have a repaint of that model in those colours!!! :jump:

take care,

Dumonceau

Not wanting to stress you or your dad, but any update on this?

Hopefully soon Dumonceau !

A few niggles to sort out, mainly due to some rather poor mapping (this has caused a lot of extra work and headaches), and some problems with the MDL.

But I will let you know when it's ready.

Cheers

Paul

Yes - a Belgian one would be nice! Did you have a look at the radio yet?

I think 349 or 350 Sqn scheme would be nice too! (I'm having a look through my books and stuff, but if anyone has any photos or profiles for MKV's from these squadrons, let me have them).

As for the radio, do you mean the right side of it?

I haven't looked at the textures to see where it's mapped, but this is how it looks on the MKVc : -

I'm certainly looking forward to it, Paul!

Good to hear that John.

Should make a good stablemate for the rest of your DX based Warbirds!

Cheers

Brad,

I'm elated that you like the idea. I have a profile picture for ya of a spit of 349 Sqn, but a MkIX...

View attachment 92694

If you do make this paint (or if dad does it), I will be forever in your debt!!

Take care,

Dumonceau!
 
I'd never say never about RAF markings, but without a photo I'd be doubtful about those underwing roundels.
 
Here's the Spitfire Va from the same JF pack. See the difference in the right, rear facing side of the radio? Blank on the Vc AE*A above, but textured here.
