Great minds think alike!   I'm right behind you.  Still need to finish my FR.XIV but I'll be following closely.    BTW, if you are looking for some good info on the enigmatic paint schemes Malta Spits had, I highly recommend "Color Conundrums #1".    From the experts on this stuff, it apparently has much new info on the colors and markings than previous resources.

Thanks for the information John.

I also use this book as a reference in this project:

I removed some parts. Casting is outstanding.
As some members know, there are some form problems in the Nose piece and the Volkes cowling piece. LFD replaces them free of charge.
I'll be busy working on the cockpit and lower wing until the corrected parts arrive.

Looks like another fun conversion.  I wonder how this will compare with the Mk.XIII in terms of how well it builds.

 

:popcorn:

 

 

Cheers,

Thanks Michael. 

This conversion is a little bit more detailed and complicated but not problematic.

I've got that book, it's amazing.    Over on Brit Modeler, where there seems to be a plethora of Malta experts, I was told that Cauchi's research has now been superseded by the info pulled together in Color Conundrums.    I bought the book last week; it seems to be very well researched and full of nice color profiles (not just of Malta Spits but it also touches on multiple other subjects).   It's a great read.
