'Little Boy with Spitfire 1940.'

[Harry Faversham]

I've just gleaned this Salute freebie. I understand Kevin Dallimore did a painted up version of him. I've searched the interweb for any piccys of a painted figure, for inspiration...
but have drawn a blank, anyone help?

Um Harry - I don't mean to be pedantic, but was there supposed to be a pic with that post? 

[Harry Faversham]

Er, no. I'm hoping someone can give me a link to a painted up figure!

Is he not basically in a school uniform?

Grey shorts, socks an jumper (or blue). Black shoes white shirt & cap in whatever school colours you fancy?

It is odd that there are no pictures of it painted all I could find was this https://www.fantoricalwargaming.com/post/boy-with-spitfire

...and it has been painted as a statue.

Gosh that is well painted the detail like the rondels on the Spitfire is remarkable given its size.

Want a painting source? I’d pull out The Battle of Britain and pop it into your VHS/ DVD/ Blueray player. IIRC there ‘s a scene where a returning airman gives a model Spitfire to his child.

The prize goes to Mike, thanks...

I see you found what you were after.  I needn't apologize for my daftitude, then...

"Never apologise Capn, it's a sign'a weakness!"

 

[carlos marighela]

Of course if you apologise constantly you run the risk of being taken for a Brit.

Of course if you apologise constantly you run the risk of being taken for a Brit.

And why would that be a problem?

[CapnJim]

Okay, Gentlemen.  Let's settle down, now.     Carlos was just making a joke.

As to the topic at hand, the good Mr. Haversham found that which he sought.  It's all good! 

[carlos marighela]

And why would that be a problem?

As someone born and part raised there I’ve never found it a problem, save for the odd occasion, explaining to the more clueless airline employee why I am carrying so many passports and how yes, I can, indeed have to, use different ones on different legs of my journey.

As the good Captain so rightly divined, it was a joke.
