hurricanemk1c 195 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Yet another re-paint that I'll have to install! Superb shots, although I suspect it's a long way from Marham, base for 105 Sqn Although the purists will tell you something - Dave's model is for a B.IV Series II (powered by Merlin 21/23 engines), whereas W4072 is a Series I (Merlin 21 engines), converted from a PR.I, fitted with short nacelles. Interesting to note that S/L A.H.Oakenshott carried out the 1st operational sortie, 31/05/41, for 105 Sqd. in W4072. Still, it's close enough - and who will really know?

jankees 917 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 well, the good news is that Dave is working on other versions as well, including a PR (USAAF paint), late bomber and Highball (DZ546) versions. Fighters may come too, but that depends in part on what Vertigo does... Problem with painting the Mossie is that most look the same, just with different code letters, which is why I take some artistic licences, the differences are not that big..

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 The only difference between a B.IV Series I and Series II is the exhaust nacelles - an "in the field" transfer! Link to post Share on other sites
