Muddi Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hi there, I'd like to show my recently finished Tamiya Spitfire Mk. IXe in the colors of 101 Squadron, Israel Defense Forces, 1949. I used some Quickboost and Barracuda aftermarket sets and the 101 Squadron badge is from a Techmod sheet. I had some serious trouble with the techmod-decals (Star of David, tactical no.) had to remove them and had to paint the markings using masks made from Tamiya-tape. I used Gunze Mr. Color paints. After building lots of Luftwaffe-subjects, it was a good change to build an Israeli plane and the Tamiya Spitfire builds great!

fastzx Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Maru, Usually you hear the phrase... "Clipped, cropped and clapped" Refering to a Spitfire modded for low altitude dogfighting. Cipped wings Cropped supercharger turbine vanes Clapped meaning not much use at higher altitudes https://books.google.com/books?id=RkeIAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT256&lpg=PT256&dq=clipped+cropped+and+clapped&source=bl&ots=Ft1BXJZfYr&sig=lBmvOesdkrJJEqPB87xVKV0hYUI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CGYQ6AEwEWoVChMIq9i68JDIyAIVzHc-Ch169AbA#v=onepage&q=clipped%20cropped%20and%20clapped&f=false Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
