Looking at the Hurri, it's proven: British paint(jobs) really suck(s). lol

I am sorry, but I have to nitpick again.

The position of the landing light on the BF 108 is wrong.

It should be to the left of the pitot tube and not on an extended arm.

This really strikes me as odd, cause it is visible on like any picture of the Bf 108. so why is it wrong on your model?

But even more important in terms of DM, do you have the fire extinguisher system modeled?

Sorry for stealing them.

I hope you won't mind if I reproduce the third one from the series here.

Wow now thats a proper Bob shot and almost definately a land and rearm and back to full readyness...awsome and thanks.

It's not BoB era, but it's a beautiful shot! I''d say this is late 1940 (or late October 1940) to early 1941. The pilot appears to be wearing a 1941 pattern mae west. It may be the BoB 1932 pattern, but the colour looks off (unless he doped the whole thing yellow)
Also, the white-band on the spits fuselage didn't appear in the BoB I don't think :D

But man these are some great shots. I can remember seeing them in a life magazine from the period :cool:

If it was one of the Hurricanes bound for the catapult launch, I think they were quite old and tired. Once they took off if they were too far from land it was a one way trip. Paint would not have been a priority

cheers!
