Fishbed Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Another for the slowly growing collection of spitfire marks. This is the Eduard 1/72 VIII kit modified to the VII version. The cockpit door was fixed closed and gaps filled in. A solid bulkhead was added at the rear of the cockpit. The air intake for the pressurisation system was added on the nose. The large carburetor intake in the kit had to be removed, and the hole filled in so the small intake could be used. Those were the main changes as far as I remember. I used the kit canopy as any differences at this scale are (hopefully) not that apparent. The MSG was from Colourcoats and the PRU blue from an old (and sadly nearly empty) tin of humbrol authentic paint. The decals came from a Xtradecal sheet. On to the pics 😉 Comments welcome Tim 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opus999 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Beautiful finish! And very nice mods too. I recently was obsessed with Spitfire Marks and obtained kits of the "major" marks, but no Mk.VII. You've inspired me to give a mod like this a try!
