Eduard''s 1/48 Spitfire IX makes average modellers good, good modellers great, and turns great modellers into superlatives. This is especially true when the markings are masked and painted rather than decals. Here is a build of not just one but two superlative Spitfires.

Hi Fredrik,
A fantastic build and a great article.
Between your build and paint job and Mals masks I'd be happy if anything I did was even half as good.
looking forward to your next build.
Cheers
Chris

If I'm not entirely wrong I judged those aircraft at the recent IPMS Stockholm competition. They are as good as they look in the photos!

Fredrik,
A really rock solid build of an excellent kit. I really enjoyed, and learned quite a lot about masks from your feature story.
Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.

Thank you guys! I personally prefer to read articles and build blogs that aim at helping others develop their own skills, whether they put them to use on the same model or another one. I hope I managed to write such an article.
And Magnus, you're not wrong and I'm still wrestling with your advice after the show...
