Hi all here is my kit bashed High-backed spitfire MKXIVe Belgian Air Force in 1:48 In the markings of a no 2 SQD Spitfire SG-86/UR-H at Melsbroek airbase in the early fifties I used two AIRFIX kits for this conversion Their PR.XIX and their new low-backed MkXIV (A05119+A05135) I also used Eduard instrument panel and seatbelt set (644018) and Eduard Brassin wheels (648469) also I used Markings and roundels from Daco products (D4837) and AML Camouflage Masks (AMLM49025) Tamiya paints used throughout Thanks for looking and enjoy Photographer unknown of original picture- 11 replies

Supermarine Spitfire MkIX and MkXIV Quickboost 1:48 Here we have another set of add-on parts from Quickboost who seem to be on a bit of a mission lately. Two of these sets are for the Eduard Spitfire MkIX and the third is for the Academy Spitfire MkXIV. Each part is a direct replacement for the kit parts giving a finer level of detail to the finished model. Each is packed in the standard poly sleeves and are relatively well protected by projections from the casting blocks. Spitfire MkIX Bulkheads (QB 48 528), or armoured plates are extremely thin and look quite fragile. They are simply detailed with just a few bolt heads and mounting holes. The plate that sits behind the pilots head also has the slot through which the seat harness fits. Spitfire MkIX Cockpit Door (QB 48 538) is also quite thin, but has some very finely done strengthening stringers and a nicely moulded latching mechanism. The set also comes with a separate crowbar to fit as necessary. Spitfire MkXIV Exhausts (QB 48 5541), contains two very nicely moulded round exhaust stacks. Each stack is suitably hollow with very thin sidewalls giving a really good scale look. The stacks are moulded onto a common rail which fits directly into the kits aperture. Conclusion Three very simple and easily fitted parts that should help give a better scale look to the completed model. Recommended. Review samples courtesy of distributed in the UK by Hannants Ltd.
