Supermarine Spitfire Mk22 Floatplane





Paintwork is a Golden tribute to the Schneider Trophy winning Supermarine S.6B

Any man who builds the old Hawk Spit 22 deserves a medal, let alone who gives it such a SUPERB paint finish!  :bow: :bow:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Picture a group of 7 painted that way as a RN display team.

A true test of your decal setting solution.

What a beauty. Just the thing for a post war Schneider Trophy revival.

 :cheers: cheers chaps :thumbsup:

the paint job was meant to be silver & blue like the S6B but I ran out of silver, as did my local shop....so its a happy accident how it turned out.

I like the post war Schneider Trophy revival idea Tim nice one, GB idea? :thumbsup:

Decided to do a 1946 Schneider Trophy What-If set after doing the Spit Mk22 version & a post from TimJ ( heads up :thumb:)
This includes aircraft of the world in the Single Piston Engine category (going to have a go at Jets another time)
Max 3 entrants per country
Aircraft so far:
GB : Supermarine Spitfire Mk22
      Hawker Tempest
US : P51D Mustang
    : Corsair
West Germany : FW190D (needs painting)
Italy : Fiat G.56 (awaiting kit in post)



not a patch on these though
