bearmatt Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Hello folks, it has been a while since my last topic posting. Here I'm back with the Silver Spitfire, Mk. IX kit from AZ Scale 1:72 Paints: AK Chrome, MRP Super Silver (for the rudders) The kit was so so, a bit a pain to build, especially the wing-fuselage joint - but I guess one gets spoiled after building Eduard's Mk.IX Decals also from the box, quite good. All in all happy how it turned out and to have it on display in my vitrina now Ready to move on to the next project - Airfix Victor! 🙂 Hope you like it too Cheers Ben 61 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markh-75 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 There's just 'something' about a silver Spitfire isn't there? Seen this model around on line (not yours) and did nearly buy one. Cracking job, love the silver, very uniform and bright! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
