Kotare 1/32 Spitfire Mk I
By Rod Bettencourt
Spitfire Mk.I of 234 Squadron, August 1940.
After seeing some of the beautiful builds posted here, I thought I would give it a try.
For aftermarket, I used a Quinta cockpit set and HGW seatbelts were used.
Paints were Model Master. I ended up using the kits decals which were just fantastic.
I was waiting for an overcast day to get that England airfield look. Pictures were taken with my I-phone. I was hoping for a few more pictures but the rain came down. Outside photos are far easier for me. In the end it will look scale, or it will not.
I sure look forward to more kits from Kotare.
Thanks for looking and all comments are welcomed.
