Revell Spitfire Mk IX in 322 (Dutch) Squadron markings


Recommended Posts

Finally Photobucket is working so here is the new Revell kit built out of the box apart from seatbelts from the sparesbox. The next model to build will have some modifications such as replacing the wheels, shortening the oleos, replacing the thick wheeldoors. I slightly reshaped the proptips.

Forgot to mention that the model represents a Mk XVI as flown by Dutch pilot A. Homburg who lost his life in this aircraft on April 1st, 1945. The model has been built for a friend who is writing a book about the wartime experiences of this particular pilot.

Beautiful!! Different markings too, nice tribute to the Dutch pilots. You certainly did a amazing job with a kit that has had some criticism, it looks lovely to me. I'll be interested to see what you can do to another kit with the corrections you have in mind. Thanks for sharing this!

I can't believe that the new Revell Mk.IX does indeed have a Spitfirerish look to it, in fact,

it looks like a Spitfire. You did a FANTASTIC Job with the kit :goodjob: and I don't regret

having bought one myself after having seen your build.
