Wingco57 Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Yes, but with a difference. This is my build portraying one of the Spitfire IX's that were used by the RNethAF in the late fourties and early fifties. This particular aircraft still survives at the Military Aircraft Museum at Soesterberg in the Netherlands. it's in camouflage now but during the early fifties it was in silver overall. Hope you like it. Cees 1
Grant Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Funny, I can't bring myself to get enthusiastic about clipped wing Spits but, I have to say, Cess' is probably an exception. Gorgeous build Cees.
Wingco57 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 Gorgeous! I love clipped-wing Spits! What'd you use for the NMF? Hi Matt, Revell Aqua aluminium with floorpolish (Parket+, a Dutch brand similar to Future) and Flory Models wash to finish it off. I was very pleased with the result as it was my first. Dutch Spits were sprayed silver for skin protection against corrosion. At that time these second hand airframes were quite tired. Cees
