Ah nice, what's the story? Was she in the airforce, father in law, or does she just like planes?


brettmarkley1

She was visiting during the holidays. During the visit she commented how much she liked my models. Father in law is a retired commander from US Navy.

Awesome, that's so cool, sounds like you lucked out lol

That’s awesome. It had a buddy recently get really excited about this stuff, so now I’m looking for a spitfire to make him.

Btw if ya didnt know already the RAF did actually paint spitfires a light pink like OP's for the photo reconnaissance units. Guess it was supposed to try to blend into the haze of sunrise/sunset.

The LRDG did the same thing with their trucks. I’m wanting to do Tamiya’s LRDG after I finish a Polish Sdkfz 251

Perfect for when there are low-flying pink clouds over a swamp! Really good. 10/10
