Supermarine Spiteful
This came as a result of a conversation with Hood this afternoon. As a longtime Supermarine customer, Bulgaria's likely to buy Spitefuls when they come out, and I wanted to draw to see how it might look...
Lovely aircraft
Only a strip of the flag on the tail upside down ...
Very nice!
I hope Bulgaria doesn't mind the wait for them!

Oops!
That's what I get for not checking my sources and trying to do it by memory...
Here we go. I added the RAF original for Hood (no markings except national).
Doo de do de doo...
I'll try a non-aluminium version later.
Israeli Air Force Spiteful will be next.

Maybe that one should be in the non-WW folder...

Most of these should be, really. I know Hood will make the Spiteful and I know Bulgaria will order it; but Ireland probably won't (they want Seafuries) and Switzerland's probably not going to be a Spiteful buyer either.
The scheme from the Avia S199s (top), and the scheme from the Israeli Spitfires (middle), and the scheme from the Israeli P-51s (bottom).
And a fourth Israeli Spiteful, again based on a Spitfire scheme.
Improved Spiteful in Irish Air Corps colors.
Based on a historical Uruguayan Grumman F6F.
Another Bulgarian Spiteful:
The slogan reads "Na Noz!" or "On Knife!"; it is a traditional Bulgarian battle-cry that usually accompanies a bayonet charge, the traditional method for the Bulgarian Army to get its point across to the enemy.
And now one from deep in the pages of alternate-history.
I like this scheme (and the one with the red arrow, too). I think I will adopt it.
WOW!
Great work Brock, I never realised you had such art skills!
Great stuff, maybe we should enrol you into the FD scale section of Shipbucket?
I love those export versions, I guess the Swiss could order some, they did look at the MB.5 post war. They have other home-grown fighters in the late 40s but nothing to match the Spiteful.
I think that Tex will love that bottom one.
