Hi all here is my recently finished 1:32 Supermarine Spitfire PRXI.

The Tamiya Spitfire MKIX kit (60319) converted using Alley Cats PRXI conversion (AC32023C).

Aircraft finished as MB948 “Oh johnie” based at mount farm Oxfordshire 1944/45

I added extra detail in the cockpit ie wiring and plumbing.

Tamiya paints used XF-1 XF-16 XF-18 XF-71 XF-85 X-2 X-23 X-25 X-27 among others 

with Florys dark dirt wash and Humbrols weathering powders.

Pledge floor care 

Windsor and Newton  Matt  varnish to finish 

Thanks for looking and Enjoy

Lovely Keith, I’ve seen the build across the months and it looks spot on, exactly like the reference photo’s he has been using.

Wonderful job,..... I was hoping that a 1/32nd conversion for the Revell Mk.IX kit might come out some time as I fancy one of these myself,....... your model really does look the dogs danglies,

Cheers

That looks great. How was the fit of the resin bits as I’ve heard some rather unflattering comments about the chin piece in particular?

The fit of the resin gun bay blanking plates was very poor had to do a lot of trimming and sanding to the resin parts. The under chin cowling wasn’t too bad only a little sanding was needed for it to fit. It was a challenge overall but I thoroughly enjoyed this build from start to finish!
