Spitfire VIII - 81 Squadron SEAC


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Here is my interpretation of an 81 Squadron Spitfire VIII, finished in a SEAC livery as flown by F/Lt. Alan Peart DFC.

 

The kit is the ICM 1/48 Spitfire VIII with Ventura decals, I hope you like it....

That's a great build and finish Russ,how was it to build? Ive seen ICM's kit's get a bit of a kicking but they alway's look good built and a dirt

cheap at the pre-owned seller's.

This looks great!

 

My Dad was attached to 81 Sqn before they went to India/Burma, while they were part of Operation Torch in N. Africa but when they went to India he was transferred to 5 Sqn who were already out in India/Burma to work on Hurricanes.

 

I've got a Tamiya 1:32 My VIII in the stash to do exactly what you've done with this, I read Alan's book a few years back and there are some great anecdotes in there, and I think my Dad appears in one of the photos.
