Tolga ULGUR Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Yet another tick to my bucket list. This is 1/32 Tamiya Spitfire Mk.IXe with the markings of TuAF circa 1947-1948. Thanks to Ozkan TURKER for the reference picture. According to the sources I have, all TuAF Spitfire Mk.IXe’s have clipped wing. It looks like this Mk.IXe (#6290) is the only one with classic wing. I have used Barracudacast resin seat, Eduard seat belts and instrument panel. Tamiya’s Mk.IXc kit converted to E wing by using “Alley cat” conversion set. Main wheels and Cockpit door replaced with Barracudacast goodies. Paints are Gunze Sangyo and Tamiya acrylics. Fuselage national insignias and flags on the tail are from Turquoise decals. National insignias on the wings are painted by masking. Happy modelling Model_Monkey, Panzerwomble, Citadelgrad and 24 others 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serkan Sen Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Nicely done and very eye catching Tolga. I have seen that you have built TuAF FW-190 as well. It would be great to see both side by side peacefully in the same Air Force. Serkan Tolga ULGUR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
