1/32 Spitfire Mk9

[ColinR (aka ARC Scotsman)]

Ok 2nd project for to-day , this is the old Hasagawa Mk5 bought via "Pig"Flieshman over on ARC last year , he included an old Paragon Mk9 conversion - and along with that I threw in one of the new Airies Spit cockpits , and markings from Techmod , to reproduce an an aircraft depicted in Osprey's "lat War Spit Aces"..

I re scribed the fuselage , not too onerous a job , and used the engraved wings from a re-issued Revell Spit Mk1 , modified to an C wing

I know posting pics of spitfires in this forum is asking for trouble , but hey I enjoyed building it ..

Unique, you say?

Nice job of a slightly battle weary Spit. Gorra love the Spit. I think Edgar & John Aero should be forced at gun-point to write a GCSE "loving the Spitfire" to be included in the National Curriculum.

I'd go back to Adult Education just for that

Nice one Colin,

I echo Bill's sentiments although pacific Coast Hobbies have announced they're doing a 1/32 MkIX.

Hasegawa would be cheaper (not often you get to say that about their kits, but their 1/32 warbirds are excellent value for money)
