Madmaks Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) Picture Update: Finally posting better pictures to this build. Calling this done. This is a Fujimi 1/72 Spitfire PR XIX made out of parts and bits and bobs of some discarded FR XIV sprues. I made this based on the color profile of HS701as seen in the book Spitfires in the Sun. This particular aircraft was from the 101 PR Unit of the Indian Air Force based out of Palam AF Base, 1950. Tamiya paints and wash. The only weathering is some light chipping on the leading and trailing edge of the wings. I opened the tail wheel doors and the pilot is from an old Matchbox kit. The canopy is part Airfix XIX and part vacuform. (Note - added a couple of better pics this morning) Edited December 13, 2021 by Madmaks update pictures and tags 57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was supposed to be a quick spares box build gave me a nightmare or two building - all self inflicted. Glad I can call it done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

112 Squadron Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 This is indeed a perfect PR XIX! The Fujimi kit needs a lot of rework on the wing undersurface in order to create an accurate PR XIX. Your really did a perfect job with the rescirbing and modification of the panel lines. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Great choice of subject and paint scheme! Having built several Fujimi Griffon Spitfires myself, i know they don't exactly fall together, and back when the came out they were ridiculously overpriced (i Blame MRC for that). -d- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I really like your model and what you've done with the kit! Did you get the scheme from a decal sheet or piece together the decals for the model from your spares? Tim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
