GreyWolf ,congrats mate.These pics are really great.

But in the pic with the shot down Spitfire over sea the undersides ruondels are incorrect,rather.I think it should be "A" type without yellow outline.This outline was used for roundels painted on black painted surfaces.The roundels in the pic look like the "C1" variant and were used for marking from May 1942 mostly on fuselage sides.Simply these ones are not of the proper type.But I can be wrong.

I Try to get it right but that what I have you all for to give me the tips I need to make those historical corrections, so dont be bashful.and as far sa getting a print my best advice would be to download the image and print it ,they are free to have but if the one you are interested is to small I will look for the org. its almost always in a large file some where. I can email you the file, I believe I have a email contact in my profile. Thanks all I really like hearing from all of you and would love to share more, I do have so many images from years of doing this.

Salute Wolf

Wunger you got me thinkin and I can be wrong more times then I like to say, well in public but I started lookin around in my large book collection and found 2 images. yes this are 1 a model in a publication and a profile in a book I scanned. Its true that most Spits did not have the yellow outer ring and the Hurricanes did more but there are a few images that show this on a few Spits.
Is my image historic? well hell I dont know this for sure. I like to think I did my home work but Im human and if you have any info on this then I am thanking you and welcome the imput. here are 2 images to look at and Ill let you ponder the possiblity of a change in the roundel at or during the battle of Britain

Hallo GW,

First of all I would like ask you if you have the B&W pics of Spits with this type of roundels paited on S-type S or Duck egg blue coloured undersurfaces of wings?It would be very interesting for me.I would appreciate if you could upload them there.
The upladed profiles and the pic of the model show the correct markings on the lower surfaces.But if you look deeply at them you can find that the left unrdersides of the wings were black painted.The camo pattern of Spits was similar to the early underwing camo called Day-Night.Because the left undersides were black the roundels there had yellow outline(ring).Roundels on right halves of wing didn't have these.With the camo pattern there was used "A" variant of roundels but not like in your pic "C1" type.Do you know the differences between these roundels? For sure yes.Besides the "C1" roundel was used on fuselage but not on wings( it was used later).For these was used "C" type roundel.What is more the "C/C1" roundel were introduced in May 1942and replaced the "A/A1" ones so BOB was finished.There some colour profiles from SAM publications/ Modellers Datafile serie no.3
I think that it is a small mistake and of course it doesn't mean that the pic and models aren't great.

I have tryed to find more images of the Spit with this yellow ring around the roundel and I have to agree with you on this that the black is hard to pick up in the artist profiles. so I salute my hat to you. and I have made a change on my org image so to keep with the history of the markings of the Spitfire. you got to keep me honest on this as Im no expert. So I thank you! but I do have a question about the yellow ring, seems its only on warbirds in defence of Great britain. is this true? was it added during the war as I dont see it post WW2. thanks again Wolf
