New 1/32nd Revell Spitfire Mk.IX- 322Sqn R.Netherlands East Indies AF-1949

[tonyot]

Hiya Folks,

                  Well this is my second Revell Spitfire Mk.IX kit in this scale and unlike the first this one was built basically from the box as a Mk.IX but in the markings of the Dutch 322 Sqn based in the Netherlands East Indies during 1949 wearing the distinctive Jungle Green and Light Blue scheme adopted by this unit during the Indonesian War of Independence, using decals from Flevo. Since seeing the Spitfire preserved at the Aviodome at Schipol in the 80`s (now seen at Duxford) I`ve always fancied building a Spitfire in this scheme and here is my WIP with reference photos of the real thing too for anybody interested;

.

 

Anyway,....here is the model;

 

 

 

 

 

 

As usual the model was brush painted and I used Polly Scale RAAF Foliage Green and French underside Blue Grey,

Cheers

          Tony

Awesome build, Tony. I love it!

I like that very much Tony. You've done a cracking job with it. I'm still amazed how you can turn out these models so quickly and still achieve such a high standard of finish, consistently.

What a cracking looking 'Spit. The temptation to pick up this kit is rapidly growing.

Awesome's the word Tony another superlative build of this kit in a great scheme.

[WildeSau75]

I cannot believe that you painted it with a brush - superb result. Like the scheme too.

 

Cheers,

Love it. Nice to see a more obscure scheme. Very impressive.

Great looking Spitfire there, really nice work and a bit different too

[Dave N]

That's an absolute stunner Tony.. all the more impressive for being brush painted, the finish looks very realistic. Great scheme as well. Top job!

[Max Headroom]

Sanctified carp! That's a corker and an unusual scheme too.

It looks splendid Tony, as usual a fine example of brush-painting and an usual scheme to boot.

[wellsprop]

Stunning!

Another stunning build and as your T-6 a great choice of markings.

That kit went quite quick together.

Spitfire of the month, superbly painted colour scheme, very interesting and a joy to look at 😊.

need to buy this kit, and I might get Revells P51 as well if the kit's are looking as good as this😊

Great job on a rarely-seen set of markings!

BRILLIANT i really love it, it  convinces me to do one in 1/48 that has been lying around at my shelf of doom..

Keep on the good work ....

I was going to make a funny comment because I know you'd appreciate it. But honestly I love your work. I really look forward to seeing your models. They always somehow capture a moment in time. That in my opinion is what models are about.  We should make a moment in history.

Keep up the work.

[Bangor Lad]

Superb build and a very nice rendition of a little seen scheme.

[RidgeRunner]

I'm not a 1/32 builder or fan but I have to say that your build is exceptional. I love it and the unusual scheme.

Hello Tonyot,

As a Dutchmen, always good to see the Dutch roundels on aircraft.

This one is finished to the highest standards. The color scheme makes a powerful impression.

Regards, Orion / The Netherlands.

Lovely stuff Tony, that new Revell kit looks excellent.

[Darby]

I say, ding dong old bean!

Gorgeous mate. The panel wash and subtle weathering break the green up well. This scheme isn't one of my favourites, but for some reason it looks great here, I think you've changed my opinion!
