Hi All,

This is my final reveal for the Airfix 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire F Mk 22. Kit number A02033. I hope you all take some time to watch the videos as I do put quite some effort into those.


Build Summary


The kit was built along side a Tamiya 1/72 Mosquito, which can be found here

https://archive.kitmaker.net/forums/262116&page=1

The front canopy was lost and because of this I had to use a canopy from another kit. This is why it might look a bit out of place. I also didnt have my best time painting this kit. So overall this is not my best effort and I am not the happiest with the final result. As always I am never concerned with historical accuracy but rather the build and finish, which like I said before is not my best.

That is one beautiful spitfire.

Too bad Airfix made the panellines so deep, but your finish is very nice!
