Eduard 1/72 Spitfire Mk IX

October 31, 2024 · in Aviation · · 6 · 135

This is my first kit which I built 2 years ago. The kit is amazing in its detail and number of parts in the box. The cockpit alone rivals some in larger scales. This kit came from Sprue Brothers in the US; they sell Eduard kits called Overtrees, which are kits in plain white boxes, and have no decals or instructions, but at a reduced price. This one was $10.

I used decals from my collection and used for the camo. I photographed the kit on my tabletop on a simple base. The background is from my Aussie friend Tim Prosser.
