Some strong work in the painting dept. The cockpit with the door being open really makes the kit more interesting. For those in the know about Malta Spitfires . . . having four cannon adds more interest. Airfix has improved their early Spitfires with the Vc and your gifts and talents have brought out the best in this kit. Over and above, you've set the bar higher.
Looking forward to seeing your next adventure in modeling.
That's a great build Joseph 👍 good pictures too, you would have thought it was bigger than 1/72 👍 nice one
Thank you!
Great result, Joseph @joseph_fenech
At first I thought it was a bigger scale as well.
Thank you!🙂
A fantastic result, Joseph! Looking definitely bigger than 1/72!
Thank you!
Great Job! I love this kit too! It's possible that undersurfaces was in Sky color (no Sky type S).
Thank you.
Sky grey, Sky blue etc, welcome to Malta spitfire camouflage scheme can of worms.
I used Brian Cauchi's Malta Spitfire V for reference

Smashed the like button.
Thank you. The door was the only alterations I did. Airfix did a nice one and I will definitely will be building more!
What a beautiful build! The camouflage is amazing, love that matte look. How did those Xtra decals settle down?
Thank you. Decals settled very nicely with some microset and sol
I’ve just been thinking I might do an Airfix 1/72 Spitfire kit that I have in the stash in a Malta scheme. You’ve inspired me!
Plenty of malta schemes to choose
Great work. I like your choice of the camouflage scheme.
Thanks!
Great Spitfire, Joseph, my first ever kit was an Airfix 1/72 Spitfire, about 65 years ago, an introduction to this great hobby.
Super looking Spitfire!
That is a great-looking Spitfire! Well done.
It is always nice to see a Malta campaign Spitfire, great job!
