Awesome captures...liked most the spit next to the clock.I was very lucky to watch a demo in 2009,live above my head of a Brit Spit - probably was a MkIXc- when attented the euromilitaire in Folkestone (Kent).I was really thrilled...just hearing the sound of its engine.The show was delayed several hours due to bad weather conditions,and seemed to be canceled,but finaly the pilot managed to be present leaving all of us with the best impressions...

One of my favourite planes,wearing a very exotic scheme! Wondering if they are still flying these beauties.
Good job so far,but I would agree with Sall that twentyniners were wearing a greyish paint in their bathrooms.
But its up to your taste.

Nice photos mate.We use T-6 Texan also in HAF as long with T-2C as trainers following the base training with T-41D.
I have 2 kits of Ibex,and recently I am converting one into a PC-9 with Cyprus Air force colors.
Cheers.

Does it means that some RF-84 is in progress?

I would say...a new conversion kit for the Kinetic/Italeri F-84F

Interesting nose details,indeed.
I am looking for photos or plans of the inner RF-84 camera bay,where the K-17/22/38 photo cameras were installed.
I would be very grateful if somebody could help.
Than you in advance.

Leaving the gun aside,three pilot's oxygen bottles were made out of plastic rods,copper wrapped round a needle for the tube and the manometer (air presure bezzel) from a punched plastic disc with a printed instrument on it,sealed with a drop of kristal klear to depict glass.

The initial war camo order included a two colour scheme of tan and green on the upper surfaces,and light blue beneath.
But many other colour schemes apeared due to lack of paints.PZLs were an exception.Some planes had already been painted in camo before arrived in Greece like Potez 631 and Bloch MB151 which maintained their initial camo.All other like Blenheim,Fairey battles,Bregeuts 19,Tiger Moth etc,were painted in the above camo.
