    Great Pics. The most iconic fighter along with the P51. I wonder which felt the best to fly. from a pilots view point Spitfire or P51D?

    Simply lovely...wow...such a pretty plane, indeed. And I think this paint scheme is one of my all-time favorites

    All the best,

    Fantastic. I posted a thread about Humongous Moves when the guy here in MD bought a Spitfire. He also has a P-51 and wanted to fly the Spitfire more. I thought what he said at the end of the show, before he took off, was that he did not own the Spitfire but was rather the custodian of such an iconic aircraft.

    Look at the wings, there should be a pre-shading to pronounce all the pannel lines.

    It is interesting to see how the QV bleeds onto the wings as if painted by Dali. I have never noticed that before with identification letters.

    They also forgot to add the sky wrap over on the wing edges . . . must have been a repaint by the owner . . .
