Kitsworld - 1/72 Scale Spitfire Nose Art- Lettering-Numbers
£12.99

This sheet includes nose-art, roundels, fin-flashes, lettering and numbers for the widely used MKVb Spitfire operated by the USAAF in the mid period of WWII. Along with the general items, some specific markings are included for some of the more interesting personal liveries occasionally carried on US Spitfires. One livery depicts the machine flown by then 2nd LT Don Gentile who went on to become one of the United States most experienced and successful fighter pilots of the war. Note that the reference for specific camouflage schemes on these machines is hard to interpret. These Spitfires were basically supplied to the USAAF units in the original RAF camouflage, the US ground personel then removed or painted over the RAF markings then applied their own, many variations and colour hues were used resulting in a quite patchy and individual appearance. It is recommended the modeller should find appropriate reference to more accurately replicate the scheme of the chosen aircraft.
