Hello everyone... This was built as a companion build to my Hurricane Mk.1. shown here in this RFI.⬇️
I built it after asking multiple questions for almost two years, as well as asking more questions in this thread. ⬇️
I built it as one of P.Ofc. George Buerlings Mk.Vb’s. I used the Italeri Mk.Vb which wasn't that bad of a kit. However i am not satisfied with the cockpit. The instructions have you make a weird mount for the seat frame. Mine didn't work out right, so the seat is in very odd position. I went through the entire construction and paint for a Maltese Spitfire. I actually painted it in the Desert scheme.
Which was then oversprayed a custom mix for “malta” blue.
The final outcome i present to you now.
You will note the missing “pitot” that has become carpet monster fodder. Im not exactly certain about the white codes ? But thats the way the decal sheet came. Someday if i need to i will correct them in grey, or whichever color they should be in ? I hope this is a satisfactory example of a Malta Spitfire ? Questions, comments, or jokes if you please ?
