Ok let the Blasphmey Begin......

[PanzerWulff]

While pondering over one of my Spitfire kits my eye was drawn to the yellow stripe on the wings leading edge.So i got thinking "Hmmmm the Zero had similar wing markings." so I got to thinking how would a Spit look in that beautiful glossy IJN Green so my academy 1/72 Spitfire Mk XIV will be japanese  .As was said when I built my IJN Corsair "I am a repeat offender I shall offend again" Well it is time to offend again.All flaming comments,cries of blasphemy & herecy,and death threats will be accepted and ENJOYED!!!
Thank you verry much

It's that kind of thinking that indicates you truly belong here in the asylum with the rest of us, Panzer! I can't wait to see your IJAAF Spitfire!

Blasphemy is a blast for me, hit the bench!

"Blasphemy"?  I think all of us here have done something blasphemous.  And there are sure to be some JMN's who consider everything we do here as blasphemy.

This is not blasphemy. You're just changing the paint job. It's not blasphemy until you cut styrene, change the shape, fit a radial engine, planing hull flying boat fuselage, auxillary jet engines, and steam-punk style portholes instead of a cockpit.

Are we going to see this in the Spitfire GB?

Porbably not, I'm out of spitfires and on an SF kick anyway...

[PanzerWulff]

Well I have the pit painted and assembled and the interior (wheel wells cockpit sidewalls etc) basecoated with my home made Aotake mix (a combo of 2 parts Turquoise,2 parts hunter green,1 part silver acrylic paints mixed with about 4 to 5 parts Future for transparency & Gloss) i just need to give it a wash to make the details pop.I also assembled the wings. Hopefully I can get some pics of the pit tomorrow before buttoning up the fuselage

I saw a documentary about the Spitfire a while ago, whereupon I heard that when the Spitfire was unveiled, the Japanese tried to buy one!
I wonder what they were going to do with it.....?

[gooberliberation]

Well, at least you'd get to keep the yellow leading edges on the wings

Not bad.
However I would think JMN baiting would be so much more fun if you used an FW-190 or a BF-109 of some kind.  Those Luftwaffe types take themselves waaaay too seriously and are therefore so much more fun to bait.  I got some interesting reactions to my Japanese HO-229 from those types (say, were you just mumbling in something other than english?), imagine if I would have painted it in US NAVY colors...

[Mossie]

And who's to say the IJAAF didn't have any Spitfire's?  I'm sure a couple were captured & it's not beyond the realms of imagination for one to be pressed into emergency service.  Could make for a bit of head scratching in fact.

[dragon]

Then again you could always claim that the Spitfire is painted that way due to a secret mission of some sort in order to fool the Japanese until it is too late.  Say it is piloted by Royal Navy Pilot Andrew Bond and the Mission's Intelligence Liason being Ian Fleming.
