Thanks very much Errol. No not related. Investigating the possibility of including his aircraft as one of the colour schemes in a new 1/32 Spitfire Mk.Va kitset we're releasing late(r) this year. This will follow on from our 1st release, a mid-production Mk.Ia due in Feb/Mar this year: www.kotare-models.com/products/k32001-132-spitfire-mkia-midEvery little bit of info helps. Cheers Richard |
