Spitfire Mk IX Eduard 1/72
Hello, this is my first post on iModeler.
I want to share with you one of my 2019 builds : an Eduard’s Spitfire Mk IX Profipack in 1/72nd scale.
A pleasure to build, really nice little model, like almost every Eduard’s most recent productions.
I added a small resin Pilot from PJ Productions, to represent the plane as it takes off.
Otherwise, I added a resin cowl, brass landing gear legs. The roundels are painted.
I use Vallejo paints, with a cheap airbrush.
The model is glued in position on a home made base, with painted effect to represent the speed juste before take off.
Hope you enjoy the pics !

Very nice!
Like the rotating spinner on some photos. This seems Stanislaw Skalski’s plane. 1943 over Tripoli?

Welcome Jerome! Very nice Spitfire.

Nice work. On first glance the BW-photo tricked me. Is it an original photo?
Second glance: cannot be because the blue tone is darker than the red.

1/72? Seriously?

Thank you for all your welcome messages and comments !
It is indeed the Skalski’s plane. I took my inspiration from a famous photo where we can see him taxiing with several other Spitfires at Goubrine airfield, Tunisia.

Bonjour Jérôme,
Very nice rendition. I like especially the dynamic effect during take off, very good idea!
