ringleheim Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Awesome! What paint did you use for the desert colors on the VC? I think the colors look spot-on. shadowmare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanes Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Awesome Spitfire wit a nice and dirty finish! How was the fit of the Hasegawa parts? I'm planning a conversion from Mk.II to one of the Malta Vc, too. shadowmare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasegawa canopy needs a modification too. Fuselage under must be reshaped. So i think that much better option its just to buy Tamiya Spit or wait until somebody will have mercy and make this version.

Hm, you got me thinking. hakcing up a 100€ kit for a conversion seems a little bit risky to me. Using the canopy from Revell's Mk.IXc kit may be easier than the adjusting the Hasegawa part? I agree a decent Mk.Vb and c is highly welcome! shadowmare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that buying Tamiya Mk VIII or IX and build it from the box is better option, because converting is challenging. Revell MK IX canopy is better but you still need to buy Hasegawa (or HobbyBoss) if you want to have Vokes tropical filter. This is photo of my Vc on early stage of build, you can see new ammo cover bubbles, new panel lines, changed fuel tank cover and mentioned modification of part of fuselage under canopy. Summarizing - lot of work is needed. Fanes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanes Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I get it now! A Tamiya build straight from the box is for sure more enjoyable. The Vc conversion is a lot of work for sure, but you did a fine job on this one! shadowmare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
