Spitfire Mk Ia L1043 DW-O of 610 Sqn.

Post by Barvan »

The next one I am working on is a repaint of Spitfire Mk Ia L1043 DW-O of No 610 'County of Chester' Sqn as it looked in early June of 1940 when the squadron was based at Biggin Hill. Still a WIP but getting closer.

Any chance of a DW-E version? Flown by P/O Constantine Pegge DFC.

L1043 has been uploaded to http://www.sim-outhouse.com and should be available once approved by the admins there. Hope you enjoy this repaint.

Spitfire DW-O L1043 of No 610 'County of Chester' Sqn as it looked in early June of 1940. It is one of the best known Spitfires because of the iconic 'Battle of Britain' photograph it appears in.

It had oversize 49 inch fuselage roundels and 36 inch squadron codes. The underside had just been changed from the black/white/aluminum combination to Sky and was still relatively clean. It did not have any under wing roundels. The fin flash was non standard in size and for some reason had the colors reversed, with blue instead of red leading.
