SAAF Spitfire Mk VIII – Academy 1/48
This kit depicts a Spitfire Mk VIII of 2 Sqd Desert Airforce. Deployed as fighter/ground attack during the Battle of El Alamein.
Kit was a MkIX and was converted into a Mk VIII by modifying the rudder and changing the Vokes filter.
The clipped wing Spits that the SAAF operated in North Africa were by far the nicest looking of all the Marks that the SAAF operated! You did a nice job on this one!
Thanks Morne.
Nice job. 🙂
Thanks Paul.
Hey there Bud, nice build again, well done.
I will swap you the Centurion for this...Deal?
Ha ha ha my chom, nice try,
Tappie,
Looks great I really like this version of the Spit and you have done it justice.
Thank you Frank. Much appreciated.
Looking good, Tappie. Thats a good place here for posting Spitfires
Danke schön, Herr Muller.
Like @Bernd said, can't have too many Spits.
I still have some in the pipeline.
