1/72 Eduard Spitfire MkVIII 452 SQN RAAF

[Jay Gee]

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.

Great job, looks the business!  Very attractive scheme too

That's the way. Great result.

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!👍

Thanks Markh. 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 🤔

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?
