Spitfire VIII 1/32

You may recall that in my intro I said that I was working on a Tamiya Mk VIII, and a friend was cutting the masks for me.  Well here's the result: an aircraft of 54 Sqn RAF (despite the markings and serial), 1945.  The basic kit was enhanced with various Barracuda bits, including wheels, rocker covers with "RR" logo, and some cockpit parts, and I also used a Yahu instrument panel.

 

The masks (made from Oramask I believe) worked very well, even the rather small serial.  Thanks JD.

 

I've never liked large decals, and I'm now rather hooked on masks, despite rather enjoying the process of decalling.

 

To start with, a pic of the subject.

Thanks for looking.
