The last kit to present this year from me - it's AZ Model's 1/72 Spitfire XVIe in their new "HQ Tool" boxings (red label).
This means AZ Model are now producing their kits using metal molds which greatly improves sharpness of detail, fineness of panel lines and general assembly fit.
In my humble opinion, the best Spitfire ever from AZ Model. Welcome to the Champions League!
The model represents a plane from RAF 421 Sqn, Reinsehlen, May 1945 - decals come from a Sword kit (I've received a sample of this kit from AZ Model via IMPS Austria, including only 'foreign' options: Greek, Belgium, French, South African but wanted to build a RAF machine).
Colours used are from the Gunze/Mr.Hobby range.
Weathering with artists oils and pastel chalks.
Thanks for looking, have a great start into 2013 and looking forward to all those model kits you will be builiding within the coming year!
Cheers from Vienna Austria
