I would to like present my next RAAF project - this time it's an Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Mk. Vc from 79 Sqn. RAAF - UPoT "Down With Everything".

Owing to the great help from my new friends from IPMS Queensland I had an opportunity to find the right camouflage colours, as well as improve a few details, which were incorrect in the kit. I rescribed the panel lines on the fuselage, changed the wing gun "blisters" (taken from ICM Spitfire Mk IX) and propeller (Tamiya Spitfire I DeHavilland, instead of Rotol). Belly fuel tank was taken also from ICM kit.

I painted the squadron code letters from foil masks, since the colour and shape of decals were inaccurate.

The model was painted with acrylic paints (Pactra and Gunze), slightly faded and weathered with oils.

 

Regards,

Aleksander
