1/48 ICM Spitfire

--------------------

 

By war's end Pete Brothers was credited with 16 air victories. The last of them was an Fw 190 shot down over France in this aircraft ( MD 188), on 7 august 1944. The MD 188 was one of the last FVII built. The model depicts the aircraft which was assigned to the Wing Commander Brothers in June 1944.

For building this model I used the ICM kit in 1/48th scale. I only added the seat belts from Eduard. Paints are acrylic from Lifecolor.  It was not an easy kit to build, much more difficult than Tamiya or Hasegawa, but the results are quite suitable.
