More of a reddish Orange to celebrate the roll out. Painted again in war colors and shipped to the Pacific.

So what's your verdict on this latest offering? I'm kind of tempted by their Spitfire but I've read some things about it in 11.5 that aren't so good.

I have two of theirs - the Spit MkIX and the P38. Both had teething problems, quickly resolved with patches. The Spit was a directional nightmare on the ground but they installed a pseudo (Spit never had one) tailwheel lock which worked wonders. The P38 flies very smoothly - counterrotating props and it's a J model so the aerodynamics have been well tweaked. Once they finalized the update on the 'Jug', I'll probably go for that too.
