Mig88 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Here is my Italeri 1:72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb "Trop" in the markings of EP706/T-L flown by Sqn Ldr Maurice Stephens, No 249 Sqn RAF, from Takali, Malta, in October 1942, which I built back in 2006. The kit was built OOB and painted and varnished with airbrush. Thanks for looking and all comments, as usual, are welcome. Miguel 28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main scheme paints were from PollyScale so it was PollyScale Azure Blue. Miguel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cariado Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Great model! There is a small museum in a couple of the remaining hangers at Ta Qali, and there's this aircraft (or a similar Spitfire) in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Very nice Miguel. Always good to see a tropical scheme on a Spitfire. Nice photography as well. It looks bigger than a '72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Very nice. I've always read that this kit was a bit iffy regarding shape and detail. However, your';s looks fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be this particular aircraft as it was shot down in 1943. 2 hours ago, Vinnie said: Very nice Miguel. Always good to see a tropical scheme on a Spitfire. Nice photography as well. It looks bigger than a '72 I love tropical schemes on all aircraft but this was one I really wanted to do. The Spitfire looks great in it. I have another Italeri kit in my stash to build one with the Aboukir filter. 1 hour ago, Eric Mc said: Very nice. I've always read that this kit was a bit iffy regarding shape and detail. However, your';s looks fine. The one with real shape issues was the Italeri Mk.XI kit. The nose is too short. I built one fixing the flaw with... an ex-Matchbox Spitfire nose! No kidding!
