Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire IX- "Battle of Britain"


Recommended Posts

Here's some pics of my most recent completion. It's Spitfire MH434 as seen in the film Battle of Britain. I used a combination of custom paint masks and decals from Fundekäls for the markings.

In addition to the decals, I used Barracudacast's cockpit door and tires, RB Productions PE rad screens and Eduard seat belts. All in all, a very straightforward build.

You forgot your film quote! Never mind, I'll insert one for you:

"The engine's overheating and so am I. Either we stand down or blow up."

Any excuse... :lol:

Thanks everyone! It was a great build and leaving out most of the engine saved a bunch of time too.

So I now have a Spitfire that was typecast, a blue one (PR XI), a pink one (FR IX), one with invasion stripes (XIV) and one with nose art (IX). I just need to add a silver one (XVI), one with in-flight refreshments (Type XXX mod), a blue and grey one (VII), and of course, one with a shark mouth (VIII). :P

Got that as one of my ringtones.

Nice Spit,a shame you can't get a scale Robert(S/L Skipper)Shaw to stand alongside.
