Hi guys,
I hae decided on a colorscheme for amy Spitfire which is supposed to down Emroglan's Heinz Bär. I really like an image of a Norwegian plane.

I was wondering if there are any decals out there that could help me building this plane? I have looked at Squadron and GreatModels, and VLS and have not seen anything yet.
BTW, I am chosing this one because of its appeal to me as far as colorscheme goes. I have no way to check its historical accuracy. According to the caption it is based on a scheme used in the fall of 1994. And supposedly should therefor be within the confines of the duel.
Thanks in advance,
Harm

Hi Harm
there was a manufacturer called Norseman Decals that had those (at least in 1/72) unfortunately my link does not work anymore and I have no idea where it's gone...
Hmm, Flight Decs seem to have them in stock: http://flightdecs.ca/A_norseman.html

I have a photograph of Allied Air chiefs in Belgium in 1944 standing in front of Norwegian Spitfire with spinner in national colours. Sometimes it is called 'Home Coming' scheme as all Spitfires were painted this way when they returned to Norway in May 1945. Also they had special drop tanks for carrying beer. No kidding.
Hasegawa released their 1/48 Spifire Mk IX with these markings.
