Invasion stripes are a rabbit hole I rather avoid. They would never look this neat unless it's a modern museum aircraft, however on a model reality looks horrible. I rather they were done the way you did them. The kit is quite good but has issues. I've built three of them. ( without the god damn stripes) Subscribed, us little Chanels need to stick together 😀

Totally agree! and....WOW! your content is amazing. Quality paintwork Sir.

[@RichardsModellingAdventures]

@@littlehistory2392cheers Terry👍I’ll be glad when this one’s done. I’ve been building it since May 😮I love the clipped wings on yours 😀👍

[@littlehistory2392]

My subs tend to complain that it takes me too long to complete a project! i'm continuously explaining that i have quite a hands on day job, with limited time for doing what i love :) The clipped wings were quite a decision as i have fitted working nav lights, once they were in position there was no going back if i didnt like it! :)

@@littlehistory2392 You have to build for you Terry, don't get into the trap of trying to please everyone as it will in you pleasing no one, Including your self.

[@PlasticFantastic-v8p]

People will say that they are too precise, during ww2 they didnt spray them. They were painted with whatever was to hand usually a paint brush. Looks great though

[@BillyBobbly-gm9ds]

Yeah ...but its a scale model . If it was rough arsed painted lines with a brush on the real thing...when you take the scale down to 1/24th the lines will appear perfectly strainght

[@RichardsModellingAdventures]

@@BillyBobbly-gm9ds They would look like crap regardless of the scale 1/24th is pretty revealing

That is brilliant D-Day strips well done Terry

[@littlehistory2392]

Thankyou Uncle Ron :)

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

Nice one Terry, perfectly defined stripes

[@littlehistory2392]

Thankyou Athol mate 😁

[@SprueGlue]

Nice Work Terry

[@littlehistory2392]

Thankyou bud :)

[@davidmarkey4353]

Looking good

[@littlehistory2392]

Cheers David :)

Very cool. The stripes look great with the clipped wings.

[@littlehistory2392]

Thankyou mate, bit of a blunder though! Doing the clipped wings means the stripes are wrong. No clipped wing Spits took part in D-day :(

@@littlehistory2392 I do know of No. 234 flying LF Mk.Vbs for escorting LF bombers on D-Day. Example to look up: BL415 'AZ-B'. Pilot Walt Johnston.

[@SEMJW]

@@littlehistory2392 247 Squadron flew LF clipped wing Mk.Vbs LF escorting bombers on D-Day. Example: BL415 AZ-B Walt Johnston. I don't know of any Mk.IX examples. For how well the stripes are done, the model could represent a post war plane. The stripes on WW2 aircraft were usually rushed and messy.

I'm hoping you've still got all your limbs after your adventure with the Beast pf weedwackers! :)

[@Carlsscalemodelling163]

i do like those stripes terry. (i've sent you an email)

[@littlehistory2392]

thanks bud :)

[@tonywestwood981]

D -day stripes were hand painted not masked and sprayed!!

[@littlehistory2392]

My excuse---"If a line is hand painted at real size and its a bit wobbly, as you drop it down in scale it looks precise!" 😁

[@m0rce1]

​@@littlehistory2392quite right

[@FW190-D]
