Jay Gee Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Hello all, Here is a RAAF Spitfire Mk VIII that I finished a few weeks ago and thought I better get some pictures before it gets too dusty. This is an Eduard 1/72 Profipack using one of the many schemes from the Aussie 8 box set. This is particular scheme shows a Spitfire from 452SQN RAAF flown by FLGOFF Jack King from Tarakan, Borneo on the night of 23/24 July 1945 in which he shot down a "Helen". This was the last kill by a RAAF Spitfire in the Pacific. Paints used are SMS Foliage Green and RAAF Sky Blue which went down a treat. Thanks for looking. 38 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markh-75 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Love the Spitfire! Excellent work; those Eduard kits are great to assemble and you get quite an array of spare parts at the end (made me wonder if I'd built it properly!😂)! Lovely job on the Spitfire!👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After building the Eduard Quattro, this Profipack and my 2 Aussie 8s yet to come, I should have enough parts left over for a Spitfire Mk IXVIIIVEC. I also have an FW190 fuselage left over too 🤔 Edited May 30, 2022 by Jay Gee Fat fingers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky C Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Very nice I think I had read sometime ago that this aircraft had a flag painted on it to represent the success over the “Helen” would anyone know if that was correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
