Czech Clipped-Wing Spitfire - 1/72


Recommended Posts

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.

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
