Mk V 1/24 Trumpter

[KevinM]

I finally finished this one up at the tail end of last year the original start was in 2011 here  https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threads/1-24-mk-v-spitfire.28726/    had quite a few setbacks that really killed the project.The plane depicted is "Lima Challenger" she was a donation from Mr. H.L. Woodhouse of Lima, Peru https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205446986 .I went all out on the copit of this one and some on the engine to which I sealed up for posterity.I had to make all the markings and "Lima Challenger" is a dry transfer each letter at a time.I had to paint the British insignia then paint over it for the fade look.

Thanks harv just wish I could get past the blockage on the Mossie I'd close up one engine but sure would like to open one for looks you know.

I know what you mean. Only finished one twin, P38M. Scratch built almost the entire right engine exposed.....harv

Beautiful build .. one awesome Spit. Just love Tamiya kits and their Merlin engines, even built OOB  a kit in themselves. I built my Mossie a number of years back along with a bundle of Spits and 'Stangs and the highlights of those builds were Tamiya's engines. Just a couple of pics of those Merlin.

Keep 'em comin
