mbnz77 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) Finished this the other day, Spitfire mk VIII flown by RAAF Wing Commander Bobby Gibbes. This was built mostly out of the box, I did use the Barracuda cockpit door and Quickboost exhaust stacks. Tamiya and Gunze acrylics were used, roundels and codes etc were all painted using Mal's awesome masks. I must say a very big thank you to Harv who sent me some shark mouth decals after I made a mess of mine! Cheers Michael.
