Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire MkVb

Posted by shaunfletcher on Thursday, November 13, 2014 6:20 PM

Hi all

Finished the build/paint on my spitfire MkVb of 243 squadron in 1942. Next step for this is a blast pen base over the next few days.

That's as fine a Spit as I've ever seen. I agree with Nathan on the camo.

That's a beautiful model! Very nice paintwork and weathering! What a great lookin' Spitfire, very realistic to my old eyes. Yes

That is some absolutely marvelous work you have done on your Spit. It looks great. Nice work Shaun. I built that kit in 2011 for a Spitfire GB and I really enjoyed it.

Almost done with the base, still tweaking. Will add a couple of figures most likely
