Well, here we go again...🤩 How about this one? Time for another Mk. IXe...can't have too any of these, and I am always up for a Mid-East/surplus/post-war build...This will be the second from the Eduard Czech Triple Combo and will depict the Israeli Spitfire Mk.IXe, Hatzor, 101 Squadron, 1949. I think this bird arrived as part of Operation Velveta II. I'll get into it tomorrow evening...I am tempted to build another Israeli Spit next to it, another Mk. IXe from AZ Model, Black 89...tempted, I say...🤔 That would be building three aircraft at once...two Spits and a Bestmann...hmmm...could I do it?

Here is a slightly different take on the AZModel's 1/72 spit. I got this one in a bag of parts and without major decals. Browsing through the net to find some different liveries for the Spit, I came across the Velvetta II operation spits on their ferry to Israel from Czechoslovakia via Yugoslavia. They landed on Podgorica airfield, and in order to do so, Yugoslav markings were painted on the spits. Spits were surplus Czech ones. The spits carried in addition to the slipper tank, a pair of Me-109 fuel tanks on wing fittings. So here it goes, a weathered spit with Me fuel tanks and different markings. The kit is the AZ one, built OOB, with added slipper tank, ME fuel tanks from ED Me-110 kit and decals from SKY-Decals sheet provided by a friend. Painted in Tamia acrylics (the new RAF range) with the ME fuel tanks painted in RLM-76. Weathered with pastels and oil washes (heavily). Thanks for looking.
