a Supermarine Spitfire, flown by the Air Force of the Emir of Khemed, as seen in the Tintin album "Land of Black Gold".
in the album, the aircraft can be seen overflying the rebel sheik, Bab El Ehr's, camp. dropping leaflets to persuade the rebels to stop fighter (which is all in vain as Bab El Ehr's men are illiterate).
although no specific mark of spitfire can be identified, from wha tim seeing its likely a Mk.I, Mk.V or Mk.IX variant.
the kit im gonna use will be an Eduard 1/144 Spitfire Mk.IX as a basis. decals will be DIY.
