Eduard Spitfire Mk. Vc RAAF

December 22, 2023 · in Aviation · · 12 · 392

Eduard 1/48 Mk. Vc trop in the markings of JG912, No. 79 Squadron RAAF, Kiriwina, Trobriand Islands October 1943.

Part of the Eduard Southern Star dual boxing. Earlier this year I built the Spitfire Mk. Vb in marking of Sq/Ldr Stanislaw Skalski 601 Sq, Pachino, Italy July 1943

Built out of the box which contained masks and photoetch. Predominantly Vallejo Air paints along with Tamiya here and there.

Final build of 2023.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
