Jocko, first off, very nice job.  But sad to say that we've got the Spit 9 from the 145 RAF Squadron or better known as the Polish Fighting Team.  The skin was done by Greebo and added last year.

Its a Desert Spit Vb that Jocko made.

...and yes we need it.

[Major Biggles]

looks great jocko!

would it be at all possible for you to do a spit 5 of 71 squadron?? our squad would be massively appreciative. only if you have time mate...

[Jaxxon]

Jocko may be stuck somewhere where it's warm right now. Big winter storm over Pearson Internation and he may not be able to RTB   

[Greebo]

Thay is a very nice skin Jocko, great work.

Well, I wasn't stranded per se but sitting at The Flying Beaver drinking Big bellybutton beers and watching the float planes buzzing around was better then spending the weekend at home in Ontario shoveling the driveway.    <edit> Geez poog, I should have called you!!!  Next time.

Apologies to Greebo, I hadn't noticed 'til now that there are a few DAF/Tropical paint schemes available.

Biggles, Most of my reference material focuses on RAF/RCAF Spits, if you have some photos/profiles gimmie a PM and I'll certainly give it a try.  I'll probably make a Mk IX template next which should be good for some late war Canadian schemes, lotsa nose art and so forth (much to the chagrin of senior RAF staff officers  ).
