'Tolly Hello' was a Mk IX Spitfire (serial number MK210) which was sent to the USAAF for testing the fitting of drop fuel tanks. Its nickname comes from the rather distinctive nose art!
The model I managed to get my hands on had the option of fitting a normal propellor as well as a plastic disc, which simulates a rotating propellor. As none of my other models has this option, I decided to fit the disc rather than the fixed propellor.
And here is a picture of the nose art on the real 'Tolly Hello' Spit.
