Jake Moon Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hi everyone! Here are a few shots of my recently finished Italeri Spitfire Mk. V. Inspired by the recent Eduard 1/48 Czech Spitfire set, I raided the spares box and managed to work together one of the aircraft in that set. The kit was surprisingly difficult, though it had good detail, fit was terrible! The plane is mostly Tamiya extra thin cement and milliput. Only after I built it did I realize two mistakes: The rounded tail and for some reason I painted the red 'tape squares' around the cannons! As always, I look forward to your comments and suggestions. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Looks good and the red bits around the cannon are easily fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Nice and different in that scheme. Wouldn't worry about any mistakes so long as you enjoyed it, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Very nice indeed, I can almost hear it zooming around Duxford at Flying Legends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Very nice looking (and not over-weathered!) Spitfire. The Czech roundels make for an interesting vriation on what some (not me!) might consider a hackneyed subject. Simply retouch the cannon patches and Bob's your uncle! Good work. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
