Revell Mk 9 Spitfire 1/48
This is one I built ages ago but is still a favourite of mine, The Revell Mk 9 Spitfire is a pleasure to build, if I remember rightly you get the option of rounded or the more pointed tailfin and the rounded or clipped wing tips ,you can probably tell I'm not a Spitfire expert.
The decal sheet was from Hannants and gives the choice of BMF or camoflaged Isreali aircraft and a camoflaged Egyptian aircraft .
Your comments please.

Very nice Neil. I like the Spitfire in this livery, I always fancied doing the all black Israeli Spit flown by their former Prime Minister.
There is a decal sheet for that aircraft G.,Hannants will probly have it.Thanks for looking pal.

Nicely done Neil. And what scale is it?
My mistake, it's 1/48, I edited the title accordingly,cheers Simes.

I guess I somehow fell out of the loop. I had no idea that Revell produced a Spitfire Mk. IX in 1/48. Well done Neil. How do you rate this kit as far as accuracy & assembly?
Alright Seamus me old pal,I'm not a Spitfire expert so I couldn't really say too much about accuracy but it goes together nicely and I think it looks great,it's widely available in the U.K. but I think I read somewhere that it is actually the Hasegawa moulding though don't quote me on that, the office is very nicely detailed as well, glad you like it.

I just had a quick look on ebay ,it's a Mk IXc / XVI, they go for about 20quid with postage here in Blighty.

Seamus, the Revell Mk9 is the Hasegawa moulds from a few years back.
Nice looking Spitfire, Neil, good to see one in an unusual colour scheme.
Neil,
Beautifully done all around. I really like the IAF markings. You did an excellent job on this. I did the all black Spit years ago. Your model may prompt me to do one again.
Cheers Frank.
