Revell 1/32 Spitfire II

January 3, 2024 · in Aviation · · 32 · 369

A good model by . However, it requires plenty of aftermarket accessories to make it an accurate representation of the II. Nonetheless, it is an economic and easy build of an early mark Spitfire that blends well with late mark Spitfires or other iconic WWII era models on the display shelf.

  1. Another fine build, Rafi @blackmopane. Do build models in 24 hrs a day? I stunned by the quantity and quality of your completed models and photos.

    • Thank you Eric.
      On average, I spend about an hour a day on models. Most of my posts include old models.
      Many more to come (but I leave out the AFVs because it seems that they generate less interest here.)
      Like the models, photography is a hobby, mostly wildlife.

  2. Amazing weathering. I'm not good at it and some I see is overdone. This looks like the real thing. Well done.

    • Thank you Ross,
      Since the model is not quite an accurate representation of the Spitfire, I applied excess weathering to the bottom for the benefit of future and more accurate Spitfire models.

  3. Fine looking Spit!

  4. Nicely finished, Rafi. @blackmopane

  10. Nice Spit, Rafi. I did that kit with a lot of Barracuda resin upgrades, and agree with your assessment of it’s value.

  11. Revell isn’t my favourite kit manufacturer but you’ve done a fine job with this one.

  12. That looks beautiful Rafi. For the money the Revell kits are really good. With a little extra effort and skill, witch you definitely have, they turn out great. Nice job.

  13. Came out very nice, congratulations!

  14. That’s a very nice build Rafi (@blackmopane). Awesome finish 😎
