My Spitfire is now completed. I found it challenging because of new techniques that I hadn't done before, it was however fun to build and kept me on my toes which is something for a 75 year old! I hope that the pictures do it justice. Alec alemo attached the following image(s): Built: Bluenose, Arab Dhow, HMS Bounty, Hummer H1, D51, Spitfire,E type Jaguar.
In Progress: HMS Victory, , Yamaha YZR-M1
Adapt, improvise, overcome.

Though the right fuselage side 'RST' letters are the wrong way round, on the 'Standford Tuck' Spitfire it should be 'RST' from left to right, rather than 'TRS'

Found these on the web Taken from rafweb.org RS No. 229 Operational Conversion Unit RAF 229 OCU RS No. 30 Squadron RAF 30 Sqn RS No. 157 Squadron RAF 157 Sqn RS No. 171 Squadron RAF 171 Sqn Type of Marking Detail Location (i) National Markings .. (See note regarding fighter aircraft) (i) A blue ring surrounding a red centre (ii) A blue ring surrounding a white ring and the latter surrounding a red centre. On both sides of the fuselage and on upper surface of wing tips On the lower surface of the wing tips (ii) Code letters to indicate squadrons and identity of individual aircraft. (i) Two letters to indicate number of squadron. (ii) One letter to indicate individual aircraft Either forward or aft of the national marking on both sides of the fuselage.
On the other side of the aircraft national marking on both sides of the fuselage(iii) Unit badge .. As approved by H.M. The King As laid down in Air Ministry Orders (iv) Aircraft number .. The Air Ministry letter and number allocated to the aircraft. Underneath the lower planes and at the rear end of the fuselage Picture shown is 611 Squadron. In the end it is only a model built by one man on his own and not a scale replica. I like it the way it is. Alec alemo attached the following image(s): Built: Bluenose, Arab Dhow, HMS Bounty, Hummer H1, D51, Spitfire,E type Jaguar.
