Airfix 1:72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I  No 610 ‘County of Chester’ Auxiliary Squadron, 16 October 1939 – 10 May 1940 RAF Wittering. The serial is unknown as sometimes they were overpainted during this period, bot the codes DW-O are clear. The fin stripes are reversed (blue leading - maybe in error).
