Redroo Models 1/48th CA-25 Winjeel

Eduard 1/48 Spitfire VIII – Clive Caldwell
History:
The RAAF was always on the far end of a very long supply line - either from Great Britain or the United States - throughout the Second World War, which meant there was a constant struggle to obtain first-class combat [...]
RAAF Spitfire Mk.Vc, 54 Squadron, Darwin, Australia.
Special Hobby's 1/48 kit was the only one of this mark available until very recently, when Eduard announced their forthcoming kit. I had already ordered the SH one & since all my previous efforts at a Vc had been kitbashed by various [...]

Mean and Green Down Under...1/48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VIII, 79 Sqn RAAF
Eduard kit built in 2016. Wanted something different than the usual two-tone camo so I suggested my dad to do a Foliage Green Aussie Spit. Sadly the decal aftermarket for green Spits isn´t big. Finally I found a nice sheet from DK Decals [...]
