Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire LF IXe


Recommended Posts

Here is my Tamiya Spit converted from a 'c' wing to an 'e' wing. It's done in the markings of 318 Sqn in Italy 1945

I used the eduard cockpit and lots of wiring to detail the engine. All markings were masked and sprayed.

Hope you enjoy...

Lovely Spit with some great detail. The masked markings look so much better than decals, must have a go.

 

I did the kit years ago as "Why Not" from 318, decals were from Kagero. Unfortunately the pics are in Photobucket.

Lovely model mate and I love the scheme too,....... a very good choice. 

318 (Sale) was my sqn number when I was a cadet in the ATC so I've always wanted to do one of their Spits!

Just seen the name you signed off with. I assume you're the Pete I'm thinking of in relation to 318 Sqn 🐹

Certainly am. My Spit was presented to the director of the WW2 museum in Gdańsk the first time the Sqn went over.
