This is a 1/72nd scale model of the legendary hero of the Battle of
Britain
Spitfire. It is the Airfix kit with a complete photetched cockpit details
set by
Eduard. I also used an aftermarket Squadron Signal canopy as the kit
canopy was junk. Even with these additional details the cost was still
less
than a Hasegawa kit and the results were much better. The markings were
also aftermarket Aeromaster decals. In fact I got the Battle of Britain
set
which had decals for five planes two spits, one hurricane and two ME-109's
a real deal. I used the Hurricane decals on the Hurricane included here.
The paint was Aeromaster. The canopy was left open as was the boarding
door to show off the detailed interior. I also used true Details "weighted
tires". Still cost less than a Hasegawa. The Aeromaster decals are the
best
I have ever used.
