Suggesting my dad most of the time more rarely seen or exotic schemes.
So here´s his latest effort.
Academy Special Edition kit version, decals form the kit and Siam Scale, added Eduard seatbelts, rocket mounts and bomb racks. Painted with AK Xtreme Metal Aluminium.

In 1950, the RTAF bought 30 Spitfire XIV (F and FR) from the RAF. Only 24 were airworthy, the rest was used for spareparts. Because the overall condition of the planes wasn´t that good, the Spitfires were in Thai service only until 1955.
Looks like an ‘Academy’ Award is in order! Beautiful work making this Academy kit shine!
Another Spreitzhofer Family excellent result! Love the scheme!

Very nice to see a Thai scheme, those are very rarely build.
