Geordan, I found some info on a modelling page. Check this page out (URL) are some color photos of some spitfires under the aircraft reference section, and some profiles a bit lower down under the heading "Camouflage and Markings of No. 74 Sqn RAF (...)

Cool! Ever since the minifig sculpture set came out, I've been thinking about how to build a gigantic scale version of one of the standard LEGO elements. Those pics are exactly what I had in mind. Rather than make a modified version of 3723, this (...) (23 years ago, 2-Aug-01, to lugnet.build)

I hope I'm not stealing any thunder... but in my usual nosing around in the BrickShelf recent gallery I ran across this (URL) nifty! I think what I like best is that the stuff appears to actually lock together at this large scale!!! (23 years ago, 2-Aug-01, to lugnet.build)

Geordan, Most Wartime Spitfires were of a brown, and 2 shade green color, while Photo recon spits were a pale blue shade. Some USAAF and RAF spitfires as well as RN seafires were in a pale grey color that the light grey lego shade approximates very (...) (23 years ago, 2-Aug-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

Right now it is green overall with the underside of the wings and fuselage in light grey. It also has D-day invasion markings on the bottom as well ( black and white stripes on the bottom rear part of the fuselage) At this point lego doesn't make a (...)
