Pink planes?

Apparently, 21st is releasing a 1/144th scale RAF plane in the macho bubble gum pink paint scheme :) . Broadening their target demographic to young girls maybe?

Considering there are 20+ good Spitfire schemes out there, this was a VERY unique choice... :?

I saw the pink paint scheme in TRU. Although historically accurate, I kept thinking of Operation Peticoat (maybe I'm dating myself with that bit of info) :)

i think it's a neat choice....historically accurate and unique. Makes a nice change from the ususal camoflauge colours. For high altitude photo recon.
i never met an airplane i didn't like...
