Originally posted by United It is British, but its painted different from other spitfires. From what I know of this one, it was manufactured in Britain with all of the Russian markings and exceptions, and flown directly to the front lines where it was put into service immediately.I cannot find any information about the stripe forward of the cockpit. This is also the only original photo of the aircraft I can find, but I have several Plastic Model pictures of it.
Originally posted by glenmorangie The contrast is high and looks suspiciously like Southern Front Camo. Do you have any further information on what colors the Brits might have used? The original Flying Tiger P-40s were painted in the US, using British Colors, for instance. is it possible the British painted these Spits using Russian specificied colors?
