Nice work on this. The German drop tanks are a nice touch.

Yeah, never saw a Spit carrying standard luftwaffe drop tanks. It’s a great model, wonder what mistakes can it have? Bravo!

Thanks, additional tanks were used when crossing from Czechoslovakia to Israel (Operation Velveta)

Splendid work on your MkIX square-tip winged Spitfire, Tomas! Like the others before me, I love the drop tanks. I’ve never seen this before.

Great version of this great kit. I’m in the middle of my own attempt, and this is a real inspiration.
Tomáš Pelej said on August 17, 2019
I will add some photos from the building for inspiration. Marking is sprayed over masks carved according to decals from the kit

that weathering is NICE, and great work masking the roundels. Doing that successfully is not as easy as one would think and yours came out perfect!
