Another spitfire....but with a little bit of a twist. I used the Tamiya MKVb with the Eduard zoom set, the Eduard flaps set and the Eduard masking set (and alot of spare parts of almost all the MK.Vb kits of my good friend Jeroen! ), Tauro decals and Tally Ho decals. The Tally Ho decals are not that good, wrong instructions and also misspelled words on the decals.

I used Tamiya paint that was a careful mix between..... aaaah, that's not true, I just took some bottles with colors that looked ok to me.......from Jeroen's collection of paint off course!

Well, some preshading, postshading, washes, pastels and blending did the trick. This was really a model that I was proud of. It took gold at scale modelling day in Lier a few weeks ago.

Special thanks to my friends from the IPMS Midden-Nederland.
