its a little change of plan from what i was orriginally planning.
instead of a maretime attack version (MRA.30), im gonna build a private spitfire.
maybe some speakers on the side, racing stripes, a twin 3-bladed contra-rotating prop.,.....

was thinking i would paint it in white, with blue wings and a belgian tri-color trim.
as for the serial, i was thinking the Belgian serial OO-NLS  :mellow: (obvious  :rolleyes:)

the model i will be using is a revell 1/72 Spitfire Mk.5 and i still have a trop-filter in spares.
i already build the prop using the 1 from the revell kit and the leftover from the airfix mk1 kit.
maybe add some engine bumps for a griffon engine  ;D

i wonder what options i would take with this one  :rolleyes:
on the bench:

-all kinds of things.

It'll need custom landing gear fitted with rims to be considered pimped! And giant chrome exhausts, leather interior in wild shades and somewhere for your ho to sit... And it must be flown in a pimp suit with flying goggles. Obviously.

Overkill? Nah, it's Insurance.  So are the 20" guns.

Spoiler and "airdam" above the trailing edge of the tailplanes, and below the leading edge of the wing. MAX POWER stickers and a tinted strip around the top of the canopy/windscreen. Lots of extra "landing lights"..... :wacko:

Underbody, strip neon landing lights in... interesting colours...

And spinners on the landing gears!!!

Dude, that makes me want to pimp out a bird...have to think of which one though..  I'll do that if the Pimp My Ride GB kicks off, or once I've done a couple other Artistic builds I have in plan.

I beleive Lindberg used to offer a line of Customizing plane kits, along the lines of the Customizing car kits. They came with heavily chromed go-fast parts and custom body panels... ;D
