Album info
It is a Spitfire Mk. IXc in 1/48th scale.
The model was crafted using the Tamiya Mk. Vb kit as a basis and the ICM Mk. IXc kit for the engine covers and radiators.
I also used a variety of resin accessories from Ultracast range for:
Wheels
Cockpit door
Control surfaces
Guns
Propeller
Exhausts
The markings depict an aircraft used by the Greek Air Force during the Greek civil war circa 1947-9.
I used Montex masks for the roundels and the shark teeth, plus Barracuda decals for stenils. The colours are Dark Green-Ocean Grey upper surfaces over Medium Sea Grey undersurfaces. The paints came from the Xtracolor range..
