Spitfire Mk. IXe by Eduard in 1/144 scale
Hi everybody who likes Spitfires. Here is my newest creation, a Spit IXe by Eduard in 1 : 144 scale.
A Beautiful gem indeed and a pleasant work. The only things I had to add are the underwing bomb racks and the mirror.
Great job from Eduard!

You must have the eyes of a hawk, sir….beautiful job! Just think of the display space available if ALL your builds were that scale. 🙂

Hi, Mr. Craig
Thank you for the appreciation. As I am nearly sixty, my eyes need to be boosted by lens and my hands are shivering. I built only airplanes, concerning the history of the Czechoslovak aviation, both civil and military, with the exeptions as the Spitfires and the airliners, no matter what scale they are. Sometimes I will make pics of my collection as a whole, total 140 built plastic models.
Keep flying high!
George from the Czech rep.

Amazing, Jiri, and very attractive, I’d be afraid of losing it somewhere!
Jiří Fiala said on June 2, 2015
Thanks a lot for appreciation. In fact, I have lost one indeed, unbuild in a bag.
George, Jiří

Your Spitfire on its landing strip – a jewel.
Jiří Fiala said on June 2, 2015
Thank you for liking it.
The landing strip is sold in my country for approx. one Euro, I have only added some artificial grass and some dirt.
Happy modelling.

Very interesting to see a Spit in Czech markings. Nice work.

Jiri, anyone who can put a rearview mirror on that has my sincere admiration!
I’ll remember that when I start complaining about some problem in my 48th scale builds.
Inspirational, show us some more, sometime.

I wish I could see that well in 1/72. Outstanding

Wow, beautiful build especially given the scale, and a great space saver,(I’m with Craig on that). I also really like the markings.

So very nice Mr. Fiala. These are not that easy to make look that convincing. I built a Stuka thinking I would have it done in a afternoon. After all it just a small kit. It took a few days, and I enjoyed it all the way.
Very cool looking. And I also very much like the markings.

Dear colleagues.
Thank you all for your appreciation. It gave me a real kick. Sometimes I will built something simillar. I have bought a Lavočkin La.5FN in that same scale.
