Hi Fido

But it does have lights and wing contrails..... ;D

Also I must give credit to Dan Swart for sending me his original texture files on PR's Spit.

Cheers Paul  ;)

Sweet shots! So close i can almost feel the airflow of the propellor!

By the way, is that a Belgian skin? Once again, do we Belgians have Spitfires? I must have missed something ...

Hi Omag

Yep   ;D

Just after the end of WW2, Belgian Military Aviation operated the Spitfire in its first two operational squadrons. The aircraft were on loan from the RAF. Later Spitfires were purchased for use as trainers in the Advanced Flying School.

Cheers Paul   ;)

Thanks for the kind words, I kinda like #2 the best, though in #3 you can even tell that the radiators are open.

Superb shots Fido pal. This is Paul Rebuffat's second best Spit model (after that awesome MkXIV ;)) and Paulb's repaint is spot on. I love it ;D
