airbus320 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Hi folks! Finally received my Montex markings masks so managed to get this finished. It's the Airfix Spitfire XII mashed together with a spare (length corrected) Hasegawa fuselage - I'm not a big fan of the Airfix fuselage as I think it looks too 'plump'. Rudder is a spare from an Eduard IXc, wing chord reduced to match the Eduard planform. Kit box, instructions and decals were destroyed by a leaky roof back in the UK, hence the national markings are from the spares box, codes and serial are by Montex. Thanks for looking! Chris p.s. please forgive the dust - it's hard to avoid it in the desert! P.P.S. links updated to Imgur in the wake of the photobucket debacle Edited October 15, 2017 by airbus320 Replaced dead photobucket links with imgur 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christer A Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Can't find any faults with that approach! Looks terrific too! Actual desert dust just sells the weathering even more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramedic Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Looking really nice to me! And it is not even close to beeing dusty compared to my stuff, that is not anywhere near a desert.. Excellent paint-job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
