ajcm Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I had finished a Spitfire Mk IX late version of the Eduard 1/48. I liked the model and bought another. This time a earlier version to paint with the colors of North Africa.And he is finished. I used mixtures made with Tamiya paints and decals Techmode.I hope you enjoy.

Spitfire31 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Superb Spitfire! The finish and weathering look spot on, and those Spitypical features are there – metal coloured crowbar and drooped elevators. ;-) One objection, though: a Spitfire isn't a "he" – she's a "she"! :-D Impressive work.

Tbolt Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 That's one great looking Spitfire, perfect finish. I've yet to try one of the Eduard Spits, I've got a few Hasegawa's to get out the way first.

Kind regards, Joachim I guess that depends what what language you speak, an inanimate object can be feminine or masculine, I believe in both French and Spanish aeroplane is masculine, but to me something that beautiful is always feminine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spitfire was a catwalking glamour puss...To the pilots she was always a lady and she's their girlfriend. With those lines, being flown by young testosterone laden men, how could it be anything but. Edited April 24, 2014 by blueliner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
