Fatboydim Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 This is the Tamiya 1/48th scale Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop. 417 Squadron. I used an Eduard instrument panel, and seatbelt. Painted with Aeromaster acrylic. The decals came with the kit. Thank you for looking, Joe 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPL Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Nice, but one little probem: No red crowbar. That's something that came up post-war. Cockpit green or metal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe your correct about the crowbar, I only learnt that after I finished. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight_Flyer Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Very nice, the paint finish looks flawless. Always liked the desert camo schemes and does look cool on a Spitfire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Onkey Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Lovely work, clean, sharp and precise- very nice indeed. The only problem I have with it is that I now realise I haven't cut the injection ports out of the decals on the Spit I thought I'd finished last night Edited June 14, 2015 by Marvel Onkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Extremely precise looking Spit! The Mk V didn't have a wire antenna, though. The short antenna for its VHF radio set was contained entirely inside the antenna post behind the cockpit. http://spitfiresite.com/2010/04/spitfire-masts-and-aerials.html/2 Very neat modelling! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
