It should be flying into Wichita later this weekend. I can't wait!

N. M. F. = Nude Metal Finish ? That poor spitfire is lookin' kinda nekkid.

SkyBuff - That Spitfire may look strange to some of you guy's, but I love it to bits.

It makes a refreshing change, seeing a Mk V in anything BUT camo' - even all the Oz ones (Austrailian) are normally always in Camouflage (you can tell these are Oz; because of the serial No's on the rear fuselage - despite the Colour/Kangaroo roundel accompanying the pic').

If Starmandid use Whitewash ? - How accurate is that ????

Suprisingly (although not commonly), the R.A.F. regularly used 'whitewash distemper' on aircraft that needed a Winter coat, where necessary - like on 151 Sqdn Hurricanes that went to Murmansk/Russia - and in 1945 the first group of Gloster Meteors (616 Sqdn) that were sent to Continental Europe (Belgium) during the last five months of the (E.T.O.) war.... (with STRICT orders NOT to fly over enemy-held lines (though they did ! - ever so slightly !).

Went to our new GREATland Target: a new supply or Corsairs, the SEA Hurricane, and a few Stukas. I am still looking for the white wonder.

I think Harry needs to buy one for each of us--or buy a bunch and post them on the Exchange. (Is that a PX, Post Exchange?)

Darn, saw a couple of these white hurricanes at my local target last week... didn't know there was so much interest in 'em. I'll check and see if they're still there..

I have one and I love it!
eventhough it is roughly made

Sorry Dux, my Target only got 2.. I got one and Skybuffalo got the other.. If any more show up though, I'll keep you in mind..

Do they call it that because after you buy it you "wonder" why you did? I know that's what I'm thinking. My first and last FOV. Absolutely horrible.

In Starman's pic, both wingtip lights are red. Did the Hurri and/or Naval version not have green on the starboard side? Or are those something other than nav lights?

I think it looks great, I love all the new FOV planes also

Now I have a white Hurricane to go with my pink Spitfire. I'll add the blue PR Spitfire soon. Then I have the blue E2*S Mustang. What a colorful collection of aircraft! There is no end....
