Greetings to all from Emmental, Switzerland.

Here is a model with I contribute as a homage to the pilots of the Battle of Britain 70 years ago.

This Supermarine Spitfire Mk. II was an aircraft of Wing Comander Douglas Bader, 1940. The kit is Revell-Monogram offering in 1/48 scale. The characteristic letter codes of D-B were his initials and gained him a nickname “Dogsbody”.  Bader initiated the tradition of painting individual code letters on Wing Commanders’ aircraft in the RAF.
