Spitfire HF Mk.VI is my older project.

I have used 1/72 Smer (ex-Heller) Spitfire Mk.V injection model kits, A&V resin conversion set (wing tips, propeller), Propagteam RAF code letters decal sheet, Humbrol enamels colours. I have made and added several parts (cockpit, canopy, guns, etc). I also have made decals (serial number, fuselage RAF an Czechoslovak roundels).

Real Spitfire HF Mk.VI (BS 141, RY-E) served as high-altitude fighter aircraft in No.313(Czechoslovak) Squadron R.A.F. based at airfield Sumburgh, Shetland Islands, Great Britain on July 1943 year. Aircraft flown by F/O Vaclav Foglar.
