A New Spitfire On The Block

[Bradburger]

Dumonceau,

Thanks for the profile, even though it's a MKIX. Maybe a basis for the RA Spit IX in the future? (I've found some pics of 349 MKIX's as well).

And yes, those underwing roundels aren't correct!

I've found some pics on the web of two 349 sqn LF.VB's, one coded GE-L & another coded GE-U. The latter has had a prang, and I need to find the serials of both aircraft, as they appear not to have been applied.

I also found a picture of a belly landed 350 Sqn Vb coded MN-E, which has a name on the fuel tank cover, but the picture is of too lower resolution to make it out, so will have to do some more research.

The EP120 skin might be delayed along with any other repaints, as sadly my Grandad passed away yesterday.

Cheers

Paul

Hi Paul!

First of all, let me offer you my most sincere condolences on your loss mate. When I lost my grandad (first RSM of the Belgian Parachute Rgt.) I was heartbroken. Having grown up in a single parent family that man was my example, my mentor and the essence of authority. In a good sense. I really feel for you.

On a more positive note: I'll dive into my "library" to see if I can find the serials of GE-L and GE--U.

But first of all, take good care of yourself and your loved ones!
