152 Squadron Spitfire Mk VIII

[Greebo]

Thanks to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin.

This Spitfire Mk VIII was flown by Squadron Leader Grant Kerr, the CO of 152 Squadron during 1945.  152 Squadron flew Spitfires throughout the war, in the Battle of Britain in 1940, then in the Med and from 1944 in the SEAC theatre of operations. While in the Far East a black panther was painted on the left rear fuselage of all their aircraft.

That lettering is....well....interesting.

very nice.

Is this the same Spit

The airframe code is not painted white and I don't think the spinner is black and white either. So if it is the same plane then the photo was taken at a different time to the photo I used for this skin. Can't be sure though without knowing the airframe code.

Outstanding!

Got it.  The only reason I'm mention it is that the lettering seems a tiny bit too thick.  But you probably have different photos that support this. 

Very nice, regardless.

Those letters look like they're blurred--I don't think they are that thick.   That photo has some fidelity loss to it, IMO.    I could be wrong but that's my take on it.

I'd suggest trimming a few pixels for each.   Could be as little as one or two per letter.

Also, the C looks to be a little more square in the photo.

The letters are not blurred but I agree they are slightly too thick, thanks for the correction. I have already submitted this skin but I will correct it later.

Fair enough.

I'd look at the angles at the vertical line on the C also just to be sure you like them.
