Desert Air Force Spitfire Mk.Vc – Eduard 1/48 Profipack
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.

An amazing result, Justin @britflyer
Paintwork and weathering is looking superb.
Nice pictures with the others, all equally great.
Thanks very much John! Glad you like the line up! π
Amazing result, Justin!
Thank you Spiros!
@britflyer, Great looking Spitfire Justin! And, what a great "line up" of Spitfires too; those are good group pics too! π Well done sir!π
You're too kind Gary, thank you!
Beautifully painted and tastefully weathered - great job.
Delighted that you like the finish Tim!
Nice work, Justin.
Cheers John!
Nice work all around, especially the paintwork.
Thanks Tom - means a lot coming from the master! Hope you're well!
Excellent! Everything is precisely and beautifully done - build, paint and weathering are superb.
I really appreciate the kind verdict Steven! The paint and weathering were the main effort here π
Superb DAF Spitfire. Love it.
Thanks Bob!
Splendid work Justin, and in the best looking Spitfire camouflage.
So if itβs 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).
Well done, Justin. She fits right in with a great flight line!...I'm partial to the clipped wing.
Thank you Gary! We'll have to disagree on the clipped wing but it's certainly distinctive haha!
Lovely work Justin. Excellent result and well done.
Thanks Mark! π
Add my congrats to the others, Justin (@britflyer). This is my favorite camo for a Spit. Well done.
Thank you very much George!
Beautiful paint and weathering - I really like those red wing tips - hadn't seen that scheme before! Well done.
Thanks Greg, delighted that you like her!
