Notty Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Not much to say about this kit it's already been said, though for me it didn't quite fall together and I had some issues with the pit tub fuse join and wing roots! Still I'm happy with it and they really have nailed the look of the IX. Had to do the box art markings, gotta love a Spit with nose art! All OOB, (why would you need anything else, even the exhaust stacks are beautifully moulded). Hope you like it.

tonyot Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 That does look rather nice,...nailed it indeed,....but very good modelling too mind you, it didn`t fall out of the box looking like that! Cheers Tony O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Jephcott Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Very very nice there, matey! You win... I have a small issue with a crack in my canopy that has stumped me at the last minute. But what a beautiful job you've done of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggers Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Lovely job there Notty. Thoughtful paint fade and excellent realistic weathering to boot. First class exhaust staining(very representative of a wartime Merlin)too mate. That is what I'd call "artistically" finished,excellent skills on display there.

rainstel109 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Nice job there mate, well done. Incidentally, I too had probs with the wingroot/ fuselage join, I thunk it was down to the cockpit components frocing the lower fuselage halves apart a bit too far. Again, nice job.

rmcclure Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Lovely finish and realistic weathering to my eye - a top result. Mine arrived a few days ago and it may have forced itself to the top of the pending pile! Cheers, Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCinLA Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Really nice, thanks for the inspiration on my own project. Not a complaint about your model, but a definite complaint about Eduard's instructions: not only do they have the wrong color callouts - upper surface was Ocean Grey not Dark Sea Grey (i'm sure everyone's caught that) - but they also got the camouflage pattern wrong.I know most people don't have the old Profile Camouflage and Markings book, which really did get it right, but if you have a Hasegawa Spitfire IX, their camouflage pattern is correct. I'm sure 9 out of 10 modelers aren't going to spot that or care, but you can't be a "Spit boffin" if you don't obsess the details. (It's right there in Rule 2.B.1.c.22! Clear as a bell, that.)

Jørgen Tangerud Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I noticed that aswell, cant be totaly sure, but i went with the a-scheme on my clostermann spit, and felt it was more correctomundo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek A Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Nice one, you can't have too many Spitfires, especially when they're this good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
