Someone on Facebook mentioned that the codes on the starboard side should read ZX-6 from the tail forwards. I followed the Airfix paint scheme for this model, so this doesn't seem correct in that case.

Also, from looking at the colour profile I posted, the brown and the sand should be reversed - but I don't think this is correct, either! Also, the Polish chequerboard in the picture shows a white square in the top left corner, but I'm sure it should be a red one.

:???:

Anyone care to weigh in?
I'm pretty sure the Poles had the roundel with a red square in the top left until the 90's when they changed the roundel slightly. It was red/white, white/red but is now white/red, red/white. Clear?. :ha:
Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!! :lol:

Look's good to me Daz, and if you are happy with it that is what counts. The problem with Facebook is that some people just like to cause trouble by making negative comments.

Yeah, I've not really done many desert Spits, so I will definitely have a crack at another!

(Such as the Airfix Mk.Vc in the stash!)

Like a Malta Spit, perhaps? Does that kit come with the Vokes filter? Would love to do one as Buzz Beurling's machine.

It does, although I've always been tempted to do the blue-grey Malta scheme.

However, that kit comes with decals for a SAAF machine...
