As Camotint Green is rather close to Cambridge Blue , which is Green .
So if you want a pale green Spitfire , you should be right at home . Generally the Era difines the paint available /
Turns out the prototype ( No 1 - K 5084 ) was a Naval Colour *. Being SUPERMARINE ( Flying Boats ) so this fits in nicely .
( saves sending a P M to myself , for the record . )
PINK , I mean to say , who do they think theyre kidding . Originally it was promolgated that it was High altitude Middle East Recon Spits that colour , as it was sunny .
Some souped up locally Mk V high altitude intercepters down that way in the early days to .
Mechanics & ground crew were as im portant as the aircraft . A good polish was worth a good 5 mph too . Thats why my cars 10 mph faster after a wash n wax .
* (There was tripe somewhere that specified it was recognised as being between two german green/greys . As they didnt use german paint ,
and the Naval Colour , on the charts , is between the two german greys , the logical presumption was that the colour , that was used by Supermarine ,
just might have been used . As it matched , and they had some . Cant find the ref: just at this moment. )
