This is a 1/32nd Spitfire Mk. XII with the markings of EB-B MB882 from No.41 sqn RAF Tangmere, Sussex England in October 1943.
The base kit is the Hasegawa Spitfire Mk. Vb. I have used the Paragon Spitfire Mk. XII conversion set with the Warbird universal resin C wings.
Other additions used in this Project are as follows:
- Eduard instrument panels and seat belts
- Barracudacast resin seat
- Barracudacast Spitfire cockpit parts
- Grey Matter Spitfire ventral lower wing part
- Grey Matter main wheels
- Master Details horizontal tails
- Barracudacast pilot Access door
- Archer Fine Transfer surface detail fasteners
- SAC landing legs
Paints are Gunze and Tamiya acrylics.
Roundels are from spare parts of DK decals.
Customized Fuselage codes (EB-B) are from Customhobbydecals Australia.
Serial numbers and letters (MB882) are from Xtradecal.
Cockpit mirror, beam approach antenna, ventral tank and its hooks are from Tamiya spare parts.
You can see the full build story in my build thread in the Work in Progress forum.
Happy Modelling!
