This is a repaint for the Flight Replicas Seafire III as the (hopefully...) airworthy UK Seafire LIII PP972 / G-BUAR.
Supermarine Seafire LF III PP972 was completed by Westland Aircraft in September 1944 and served in the Far East on HMS Stalker towards the end of the war. Postwar service included No.1 Operational Flying School in the UK and with l'Aeronavale in France. PP972 returned to the UK in 2012 for restoration to flying condition by Air Leasing Ltd.
Most profiles for the Seafire show a temperate sea scheme of greenish slate grey over the extra dark sea grey base. This aircraft, and the Shuttleworth Sea Hurricane, seem to have those colours reversed; I'm happy to trust the restorers here...
INSTALLATION
Unzip the download, add the 'FJ_Seafire_III_PP972' folder to your 'Community' folder and you should be good to go. Repaint by Steve Mercer based on the paintkit and textures by Flight Replicas.
