1/48 Academy Spitfire Mk XIV

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

 

Here are some photos of my new model: a Spitfire Mk XIV by Academy in 1/48 scale. I built this model direct from the box.  I just added some Eduard seat belts.  The decals were a combination of plenty of other unused decals.  Like usual, I used acrylic lifecolor paint and varnish.

The model depicts a Spitfire F XIV from the 91 squadron, based in West Malling in May 1944.  This aircraft was flown on several occasions by the Free French Ace : Jacques Andrieux.  At the end of the war his score was 6 aircraft destroyed and 2 damaged.
