Landrotten Highlander Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I'll settle this once and for good: just mix yellow and white until you reach something in the middle - keeps everyone happy (or not) Fanes, Biggles87, 19squadron and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19squadron Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) Radu I'm not as good on the computer as you are so my sample has a border, but taking a screen grab from the rear of the spinner where it is in the same plane as the roundel white relative to the light source, I'd say the spinner and white were pretty close in tone.

Landrotten Highlander Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) Seems I did not succeedin settling this at all. Ah well, so much for my journey into diplomacy. I'll have another wee dram and enjoy the silence while it lasts... All the best for next year.

Shoggz Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I’m doing mine yellow - because I have a number of Spitfires with black spinners and a number with sky/white, but no yellow ones! Hoss FL, Fanes, Biggles87 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's white Max, looking at this picture and then others in the Wingleader book it's definitely white!

jeroen_R90S Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) looks nice, I'm really tempted by the early version myself! Regarding the spinner I'd be more inclined to go with yellow, also based on the other photo in the manual and better versions of that photo on the IVM website. https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205260361 https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205442794 from: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235101754-brian-lanes-spitfire-p9386-qv-k-underside-tech-stencils-or-not/ Jeroen Edited December 31, 2023 by jeroen_R90S added IWM photo link & BM discussion Hoss FL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HB252 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I think the White of spinner IS White off, the round raf White IS white for "high visibility", for recognition Hoss FL, 19squadron and monthebiff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
