The hunch is to allow space for the darkroom and editing suite..
Nothing to do with not wanting to face the amount of PSR cutting it down would have involved.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Well of course, it's the logical position for them.  ;D
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! :)

Obviously using the same paint shop as my Moonbat  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Add some numbers and it could alternatively become a Reno Racer?  :o

What other colour would you use for an RAF PRU bird?  Well, other than PRU pink obviously.

Transfers.  I thought I had those from the Airfix Spit PR XIX but upon investigation all I have is the roundels and they have white rings where research shows wartime all over Pru Blu aircraft had Red/Blue roundels.
I have ordered an aftermarket xtradecal set from evil-bay but estimated delivery is October 11th so I shall be seeing what I can put together from bits and pieces with this new set as a fallback.

It's actually quite surprising the colours PRU aircraft used, especially some of the myriad sub types of early Spitfire PR I's. I've seen some other later PR marks in overall Mediterranean Dark Blue and one in what can only be described as deep purple.

Xtracolor even did PRU Purple in their tinlets at one stage. I still have one, but never used it as yet.

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

There is always the infamous Purple Sonia.


Some rummaging supplied enough transfers from a few sets (including a Hornet and a Northrop N-3) to do what I wanted.

You managed to transform the Defiant in a sleek aircraft. The look is completely changed.  :thumbsup:
