This is my Turkish
Spit VB. Turkey received VB and VCs and many of them had the Vokes
filter. They had been based at Izmir and Bursa and were replaced with
Mk.IXs.
A total of 113 Mk.V versions had been received..
3 Mk.V 45-54
39 Mk.Vb 43-51
71 Mk.Vc 43-51
The Tamiya kit was chosen since the Vokes filter was included.

The
kit was built straight out of the box I used Aeromasters acrylics for the
camouflage; Tamiya paints for the markings. All insignia were painted on. The
model was weathered with oil paints and Gunze "Smoke".
The model was coated
with Humbrol satin, and Floquil dirt was applied to the underside and
wheels. Credits go to Ozkan Türker for visual documents & history,
and to Erinc Ozgur for dates and numbers.
