1/72 Airfix Spitfire PR Mk. XIX. No need to introduce you this kit. For me, it was just good fun. I built it purely OOB. The only thing I didn't manage to attach is the glass of the cameras on the underside because it just didn't fit. The only thing I would re-do are the paint chips, but I can live with them and I'm quite satisfied about the outcome. Photos taken with my Canon EOS 400D and 55-250mm IS lens (it's not a dedicated macro lens but works quite fine for this purpose). Airbrushed Tamiya acrylics and Humbrol enamels for the details and Vallejo acrylics for the wheels, Flory Models' dark grey wash for the panels, Gunze clear flat acryilic for the finish.
Hope you like it!
