Spitfire VI BS124 Tamiya 1/72


Recommended Posts

This is the Marker aircraft to the famous BR114 of 103 M.U. at Abukir, Egypt 1942

 

The kit was assembled AOOB (Almost of of the box) as it has a Hasegawa IX canopy and the Pavla set "Supermarine Spitfire HF Mk.VI + decal sheet" for the cockpit rear bulkhead and the compressor intake. The set has a 4 bladed spinner, but this looks awful and I replaced it with a Eduard IX item.

 

Painted with Xtracolor.

 

I'm not sure that I like the look of this one. It's certainly different from your normal Vb or Vc, with the four bladed propellor, but the Vokes filter just repels me 😀

I agree Finn.  The Vokes Filter on the iconic Spitfire just looks wrong in so many ways but yet I find it right at home on the Hurricane.  🤔 Go figure!!!!!

 

Nice results on your Spitfire!!!!! 👍

Very nice indeed

I’ve got this in the pipeline to do sometime this year 👍 

Keep us posted, then. If you do it my way, it's a relatively fast build of an unusual Spitfire, but something that certainly stands out.
