Tamiya Spitfire VIII converted to a Spitfire VII

[denders]

The build thread is here:

 

As mentioned in the build thread, I wanted to build a Spitfire with both the pointy tail and the extended wing tips. And as noted, the extended wingtips of these aircraft were exchanged for the standard Spitfire wing tips.

 

Information about this specific aircraft was from this book.

 

 

"Taken on charge at No. 39 MU on 15.02.44, MB935 was issued to No. 131 Sqn 11 days later. With high altitude paint scheme, it was flown by various pilots but it was Irish-born Australian Douglas Phillips who was flying the aircraft when it was lost during a scramble on 23. 04.44."

Very nice, and good to see a Mk.VII too.

Nice one and what an attractive looking subject, I have always wanted to build one in those colours.
