Stéphane Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Hello guys, Here is my attempt at he Eduard Spitfire Mk.IX, in the colours of the n°40 Squadron SAAF. Sicily, 1944. She's missing her serial, MK151, will add it later. The Eduard kit builds nicely and easy, except that I somewhat screwd the pouch with landing gear well parts and had an issue with the legs fixture parts. The port side angled camera is scratchbuild. Paints used are Gunze acryls and Xtracrylics for the Azure blue undersides. Hope you'll like her, crits and comments most welcome.

Christer A Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Wow, that's an amazing paint-job / weathering. It looks VERY good! Is the top engine cowl all plastic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stéphane Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hello Christer, Yes, all plastic. But I would advocate use of an aftermarket cowl, as the seam between the 2 separate parts is a royal pain to blend in. I had to use Tamiya light curing putty to prevail in the end! Best, Stéphane 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
