Griffon power! Airfix 1:48 Spitfire FR MkXIVe, 443 Sqn RCAF, Uetersen, Germany 1946
Completed for a recent commission. A lovely kit to build with no issues (other than what I caused myself!).
Details:
- Master brass barrels - the kit offerings are an odd shape
- Exito (printed by Cartograf) 'Sweet Fourteens' decals - amazing!
- CMK resin pilot
- Whip aerial made from a toothbrush bristle
- Montex masks
- Tamiya, Model Air acrylics
- Finished with oils and Tamiya weathering pigments
Very slick, Charles
Ahhh...Love the growl of a Griffon! Nice job!
That's a very nice looking Spit.
I know it is sacrilege but I prefer the look of the Griffon powered Spits over the Merlin ones. /runs away/
Great job, Charles.
I like it a lot!
Lovely looking Spitfire, Charles.
Nice capture of the rotating propellor.
Very cool!
Not enough pictures to make me happy, but a beautiful job! Love the paint and weathering work.
I can hear the engine! Splendid build!
It really would make me happy if I knew how to add the appropriate sound to this! Well done!
Outstanding job!
