A Silver 1/72 Spitfire 21 Kinda...


Recommended Posts

As mentioned in this thread http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235007688-a-silver-172-airfix-spitfire-xix/, I did an 81 squadron Spitfire PR21 some years back but was unable to load the photos.  Well, finally(!), here they are!

Cobbled together from a homecast resin copy of the Ventura Spitfire F22 wing and radiators copied from the Aeroteam Spitfire F21, with everything else being Airfix PR19.  Initially, she was in overall PRU Blue but languished as I couldn't remember what whiff role she was meant to have.  Then I had a brainwave - respray her silver but as a lacquer and have bits of her earlier scheme showing throw having been washed off in a tropical storm.  I'd seen photos of Mosquitos and Hornets with similar effects so knew it would work.
