Sarracens obtained these aircraft from Egyptian sources.

The model is a classic: OOB (with Italeri filter) Airfix 1/72.

This camo was used in RAF Tempests (Egypt, late 40s).

Yowsa that's one sweet little Spit there ysi! I really like the Saracen markings on it and the really professional looking camo paint job! Excellent work!

Awww Man, I gotta get in gear and finish my Crusader Spitfire, I have one coat of white on it but it's gonna need another, can't let the Saracens dominate the skies!

Nice job!

You will need hundreds of Spitfires, because a Sarracen Dora is on the way

Waiting to see that white inmaculate Spitfire,
Thanks,

Just picked up on this :dum:

I do like the camo scheme - I've always meant to do one of the real life Tempest's in that scheme.

Realy show's you can still turn out some good stuff with these so called "classic" kits. I was suprised how well the Mk II "snap tite" one turned out
