Spitfire Mk. IX “Early”. Eduard. 1/48 Random Award Gift
Hello Imodeler’s addicts
As promised, I just finished the kit I won in april as Random Award.
My choice was for an Eduard’s Spitfire as I heard so many positives feedbacks about these kits...
Thank you IModeler for this opportunity to try this little jewel.
Ok, I must admit that since I have build this one, I ordered 4 models from differents Marks
– Another Mk IX but a Late One
– 2 Mk XVI, my favorite
– 1 Mk VIII I’ll build under Australian colors
Thanks for watching ans as usual, feel free to comment

No way, already finished? And it’s a beauty! A big “like” from me!

“….already finished…” ? It’s been six months! You must build awfully slow, Martin. 🙂
But as you said, it most assuredly is a beauty. Nice work, Emmanuel – I like it, too.

Thanks Craig
It took me less time for this one because it’s a joy to build it….
More usually, It’s only 1 model kit a year 🙂

I AM a slow builder – average 2 models a year
Craig Abrahamson said on November 4, 2015
Well, Martin….you have an excuse for less builds per year what with everything else you have to deal with – unfortunately, I do NOT have an excuse (other than the lack of a stash)…perhaps I could turn out better work if I slowed down too. 🙁

Congrats that you dared to leave her quite glossy, Emmanuel.
Every time I have the decals on I tell myself to leave them as they are, but every time till now I’ve put a flat coat.
