What can I add - Spitfire is one of the most beautiful weapons not only of WWII, but ever 
And this one has a story behind -
Squadron Leader Frantisek Fajtl, who escaped the occupied Czechoslovakia in 1939 and fought in French Air Force and later in RAF (and still later with Russian in Slovak Uprising). After war he was dismissed from the army, arrested and persecuted by communist regime, and was rehabilitated only after the 1989. Died as an Army General in 2006.
This is his plane, in which he was shot down in escort mission over France. It was 70 years ago, on May 5, 1942. After that, he was able to get through occupied France to Spain. There he got arrested and put into prison camp. By diplomatic intervention he was finally able to return to Great Britain via Gibraltar.
This model will be published on the occassion of the anniversary.
The pictures are of first and second beta build - the colors on first one are pretty bluish, but that is totally fault of my cheap printer. The second version is better (and near finished)
The first try:
Second serve:
Fooling around with Scout Trooper from Paper-Replika (and also to prove that we know how the tricolor on tail fin should be )
Yay, it is a joy to help in publishing of something this nice
