GREG DESTEC Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hi Folks! Here is my GB entry, Revell's 1/32 Spitfire Mk IXC which i will be doing with AM decals for Pierre Closterman's aircraft, while he was in 602 (City of Glasgow) squadron in June/July 1944. I have got some masks for the canopy, Etch belts for the seat, but apart from that it will be OOTB. I've been looking for a good reason to build this kit for a while, and this GB looks to be the prefect excuse. I chose the markings as Closterman is French, and it seems apt that there is a French connection with the D-Day Landings, also 602 Squadron as they were based at Drem in East Lothian close to where i used to live. At the moment i am reading a book about the Squadron "Lions Rampant - the story of 602 Squadron" which inspired the title for my thread. TFL CHEERS, Greg 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Good choice Greg , You'll be very pleased to hear those canopy paint masks you've got are the dogs, I've just used some on a fly 32nd hurricane, they fitted absolutely perfectly, nice kit the mk9, bargain priced aswell, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
