Spitfire PR Type IB

Here is my latest Spitfire a PR Type IB. This was a simple conversion from an Airfix 1/48th Scale MK.I. I used the gear doors, entry door, prop, and spinner from Eduard. The bulged sliding canopy came from Falcon's "Spitfire Special" canopy set, The decals are from Model Alliance (MA-4813, PR Spitfires-15 Early Merlin Engine Schemes), the paint is Vallejo. The Falcon windscreen would not fit the Airfix kit so I had to make one. Using the early, non-armored windscreen I filed, sanded, and polished the shape of the PR-style windscreen..

This is an easy conversion, perfect for that first conversion.

Thanks for looking!
