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
