Troffa Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Just completed this example of Supermarine's finest- the Spitfire PRXI in USAAF colours. It's based on the 1/48 Hasegawa MkIX with the Aeroclub MkIX replacement fuselage rounded off with the Quickboost PRXI conversion set. Decals from Model Alliance. The underside, with the Quickboost pump fairings and Camera ports. How she was before paint, to give an impression of the component parts: I'm very pleased with this one, as it's turned out just how I wanted. I love the PRXI's chin. Thanks for looking.

Simon382 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Lovely looking Spit. I have the PRXIX in the same blue and I think that it really suits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Very good looking PR Spit and I agree – the PRU Blue livery with U.S. markings is an eyeful! Perhaps burnt metal instead of blue exhausts, though? ;-) Lovely work. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Joachim Thanks for your kind words Joachim, I'm not sure what has happened with the exhausts- some photography glitches or reflection perhaps? The exhaust were painted separately from the rest of the model- they received nato black for a base, and a bit of medium sea grey dry was dry brushed on to simulate the light coloured deposits I've seen in some pictures. I'll pay a bit more attention to them on my next Spit, which is on the bench now! Thanks for taking the time to reply, regards, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
