Johnnie Johnson's Spitfire MkIXe, June 1944. Eduard 1/48.

[Willem]

So this is all done (regrettably minus the intended figures).

Thoroughly enjoyed building this kit. Super detail included and the only problem was perhaps over-complicated engineering around the nose.

Definitely recommended if you want a good Spit Mk IX.


























MK392 depicted as she may have looked after landing at a makeshift strip in Normandy, mid June 1944.

Many thanks for the kind words of encouragement during the build.

Cheers guys. Ashamed to say that it's my first completed model in 2014.

[Navcom]

Nice job! She came together real nice! All and all a a great a/c. I especially love the engine exhausts...nice!

[Fresser]

Very good work!

[Willem]

Thanks Mark, Chief, Jeff and Fresser.

You're dead right Mark and I will add the figures later, just need to learn how to realistically paint a black dog.

Thanks again, was a fun build.

This makes me wanting a spit myself, superb build

[Willem]

You're too kind Peppie. Thanks for the comments.

Get yourself this kit, you won't regret it. Even I couldn't mess it up (though I had a good try).

[Coen]

That really is fine work Will. Well done bud. Excellent stuff.

[patrickroos]

Very nice spit!
These new Eduard kits are fantastic in detail, in fact so detailed that they require lots of skill not to ruin it during building.
You did a great job!

[Willem]

Thank you Patrick and Coen. I really enjoyed being a part of this. Thanks for your kind comments.

[UKguyInUSA]

Gorgeous finish, Will!...I've ordered the new Revell 1/32 Spitfire Mk.II and should be seeing it later this month. All these beautiful Spits that have been built recently got me fired up to build one myself!

[Willem]

Cheers Martin.
