                        I did a search on google and yahoo for good images of spitfires.  I'm looking for some detail of landing gear and wheel wells.  Black and White, Color, blueprint, sketch, I am not particular on version.  I am building a MkVb but any photo's will make me happy.

                        Here are a couple of good sites for reference photos.  The first is Prime Portal and the second is Aircraft Resource Center.  At Prime Portal, here is a great selection of LG and wheel well photos of a Mk.Vb:

                        Spitfire Mk.Vb

                        At ARC, go near the top of the page, click "walkarounds", then "propeller walkarounds", then scroll down to the Spitfire section.  Lots of great photos there.

                        Great link!  I've saved it for future builds.  I would never have guessed that Spitfires were so glossy!

                        Glad to help. Thumbs Up [tup]

                        They were pretty shiny when new, though I think the restored museum birds may be a bit more glossy than they were back then.
