k5054nz Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 A while back I was thinking a Spitfire PR.XIX with bubble canopy could be pretty cool. Thing is, no XIXs left in The Stash. But a friend on another forum had sent me an Xtrakit 1/72 Mk.22 last year….add decals from another friend and voila: meet the Spitfire PR.23! The harsh New Zealand light really washed it out but the model is in fact in overall Humbrol PRU Blue. In fact I'm tempted to re-shoot it because the difference is so stark! I'm hoping Spit experts can spot the PR mods I added and I also hope they don't point out the flaws etc because it's not intended to be serious and I had a lot of fun with the whole build. Thanks again to my two friends for their help! 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
