modelman182 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Picked up the Eduard Dual Combo kit on Saturday and just had to have a go at it straight away. Kit comes with two 144th Spitfire Mk.IXe with marking and wing options. One each of elliptical and clipped wings, so you can't build two identical spits from the kit, but wasn't an issue for me as I wanted one British and one French. There are markings for 2 British Spits and one each of Czech, Norwegian, French and Israeli. The decals are beautifully printed (there is a correction sheet for the Czech roundels included in the kit, though I had to look really closely to see why) and respond well to MicroSol. There are masks for the canopy and wheel hubs and they are superb, though I didn't use the hub masks as I built mine 'in flight'. Construction is very simple - only 19 parts in total per aircraft. It's designed to be displayed wheels down, but some simple modifications make it into an in flight aircraft. A bit disappointed that there is absolutely no interior detail, but it didn't affect this build as I've greyed out the canopy to match the other aircraft that are going to be displayed with it. This will be one of the two escorts for my Revell Concorde (that's why I want one British and one French). Paints used were as follows: Upper and lower Camo were Alclad MIL-SPEC enamel colours - Medium Sea Grey, Ocean Grey and Dark Green. All others were Lifecolor acrylics. Camo was glossed with Alclad Aqua Gloss for decalling and then Matted with MicroFlat. Thanks for looking. Kev 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job! Thanks madmaks, they're lovely little kits and need no filler at all - a great kit for 'mojo re-invigoration'. The second one (French) is primed and ready for it's camo already. Should have that on the thread by the end of the week. Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
