Spitfire Mk XII
This is the 1/32 Revell Mk IX kit converted to the Mk XII. It represents one flown by R H Harries in No. 91 Squadron. He was the top ace in Griffon engined Spitfires with 10/1 of his 15+3 sh/2/5?
- I used the Grey Matters Mk XII conversion set for the nose, spinner, prop
- Barracuda Spitfire cockpit set and cockpit decals, wheels, and oil cooler
- Decals from kit and the spares box. Used Alclad gloss before decal placement
- ModelMaster interior green, and AK RealColors for Ocean grey, Dark green, and Medium sea grey
- very light general weathering with fluid stains done with gloss coat mixed with pastel chalk
- I actually built this over a year ago, but my cats were curious after I rearranged my hobby area. Repairs were necessitated.
The Revell kit is definitely a much better place to start than was the Hasegawa Mk. V I used with the Greymatter conversion 10 years ago. Great result!
Excellent result, Steve!
Great work on the conversion, Steve @jimmiesteve
Terrific conversion.
Looks fast sitting still. Very well done. Furry little menaces are the model's biggest threat!
Great-looking Spit - well done!
Thanks you all
