Tamiya Spitfire mk IX

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

I built this spitfire mk IX in 2016 November. The built is OOB except for the decals, they are from OH-models "OHM-32003"

I remember enjoying building the kit a lot! This Tamiya kit is just wonderful, the fit is just perfect no issues at all.

 

The paint is from MR.Paint, i absolutely love the MR.Paint colors, they are so easy to work with. The first time i used MR.Paint was on this spitfire.

Decals from OH-models was rely rely thin, "a bit difficult to work with", but they went on like a dream if you are a bit careful.

Marking is from a Turkish Air Force Spitfire mk IX, i think it is from 1947.

 

The transition between the colors is not that good that i wish they would be, not my best effort, i have to work on that bit. Maybe on a different model kit.

 

I hope you guys enjoy the pictures, i have not taken any pictures of the underside, maybe i will take some and add later on.

Nice work, and it's refreshing to see a different operator!

 

Did Turkish MkIXs have metal/aluminium seats and propeller blades?

To be honest, i dont know if the seats and propeller blades was metal/aluminum. I just assumed that they were made of metal. Next time i will do my research a bit better.

Since you asking, i suspect they were wood? In that case, i fucked up :)
