Iain Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 OK - so I'm probably committing to too much - but about to start on my PR Mk XI this evening and, well, sometimes it works having a 'production line' of similar models on the workbench. So - have decided to build a Mk IXc in parallel - a decision sealed when I found my Kagero Top Colours book on the Mk IX - and the scheme/decals for 306 Sqn at Northolt - the next closest Spitfire airfield to Edgar and an excuse to do a fighter as well as a PR bird. Add to that the opportunity to honour many of the Polish pilots that flew with the RAF - in this case Squadron Leader Kazimierz Rutkowski. Progress pix on this and the XI over next few days...

LSP_Kevin Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Nice one, Iain. That's certainly one packed decal sheet! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Have we got a review of this one yet Kev? <wanders off for a looksee..> If not I'll run one off tomorrow... Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 It appears we do not, Iain! No reviews of any of the Spitfire or Mustang releases. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Will do quick write ups of the Spit IX kit and Kagero decals next few days - just finishing a couple of others first... Iain LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Nice choice of scheme Iain. Looking forward to seeing this project underway. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 OK - after a delay whilst I photographed the unmolested kit for a review (surprisingly we don't already have a review of this kit on LSP) - I've started... The scheme: Wings removed from sprues and prepped: Rear fuselage sections around tail wheel mount added (these are separate parts to facilitate the retractable undercarriage in the Mi VIII kit). As you can see - the fit is faultless: Oh - and review of the Kagero TopColors book and decals incoming More soon - promise!

geedubelyer Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) And we're off.... I can never get over seeing how crisp these Tamiya parts are. Deep happy joy joy. I may have to try to track one of these Kagero books down. The profiles look so good. Looking forward to more when you get to it Iain, good job. *Edit:typo Edited January 10, 2016 by geedubelyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
