During
WWII the Luftwaffe had a special squadron called the "Zirkus Rosarius"
set up to test captured aircraft. This Spitfire is powered by it's Rolls
Royce engine but there were other aircraft powered by German engines. The
bright yellow underside was to avoid this aircraft being mistaken for enemy
aircraft and shot down.
The markings are
from JBr Decals and further detailing was done using a Brengun vacuformed canopy
and resin cockpit set from Retrowings.
The wheelbays were
corrected to an aluminum color after the pictures were taken.
