Desert Air Force Spitfire Mk.VcEduard 1/48 Profipack

September 3, 2022 · in Aviation · · 26 · 1K

This is a non-box 1943 Desert Air Force Spitfire scheme using the Mk.Vc Tropical (with Volkes air filter) optional parts from Eduard's absolutely excellent new Mk.Vc ProfiPack kit. It has the slightly awkward and unnecessarily fiddly cockpit and wheel well assembly that all Eduard 1/48 Spits share, but the surface detail is a new step up - the raised rivet sections are stunning, and if you're careful the fit is like a dream as always. Highly recommended.

  9. Splendid work Justin, and in the best looking Spitfire camouflage.
    So if it’s a non box decal option, which decals did you use?

    • I used some Xtradecals ones, but with a slight alteration after one set of squadron codes ripped (AX-N should be the code, instead of AX-M here - I made the latter with a spare sheet).

  10. Well done, Justin. She fits right in with a great flight line!...I'm partial to the clipped wing.

  11. Lovely work Justin. Excellent result and well done.

  12. Add my congrats to the others, Justin (@britflyer). This is my favorite camo for a Spit. Well done.
