Here they are! I was very happy with both, especially one I came closer to finishing them. In terms of weathering, Black 89 has some sandy FloryWash and a little bit of black FloryWash to bring out the panel lines, especially underneath. White 26 just has the black. Decals on both kits were a cinch and it is interesting to notice the different sides of blue used by each company for the Mogen David. I much prefer the Eduard, yet the KoPro has that touch of indigo that makes them not so much blue as...well, kind of purple. Speaking of blue, I am happy that the Blue-Grey camo colour comes off as more if a very dark blue/black once it is paired with the sand and then weathered a bit.
While the Eduard kit is more finely engineered than the KoPro, I still am very fond of these KoPro kits. They offer a no-nonsense Spitfire with a wide variety of markings if one looks at the whole of the KoPro catalogue. Eduard does too, but they seem to be more specific (D-Day, Aussie 8, etc...) Both kits are worth building and investing in. A happy modeller am I. Here is the WiP thread...
How about some pictures?
Maybe I should build more Messerschmitts...?
