Marcel Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 No. 2 squadron SAAF, Gioia del Colle, Italy, October 1943. I really wanted to build her out of the box but you know - once you start to improve a model you are lost. Wheels from Airfix Mk.I, seat belts, bomb rack and rear view mirror by Eduard, Master barrels and Quickboost prop. Gunze paints and varnish, Airfix decals - they are perfect. And thanks for looking. 37 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Beautifully modelled and finished Spitfire! My pet little nit pick: the elevators tend to droop on a parked Spitfire, except if a locking bar is holding the stick in neutral position. It's a very typical Spitfire 'signature'. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
