Back in 2017 I decided that I would do a couple of parallel builds of some old and new mould Airfix kits. The Spitfire Mk.IXc seemed to be a good choice. |
| (Models finished 2020) |
| Old and new. Both kits had decals for the same pilot: J.E. "Johnnie" Johnson but for two different planes. |
|
When I was looking at the old rivet monster I remembered that I have an old resin cockpit from Cooper Details and thought that as it would never be used I could just as well put it in this kit. But it was probably a mistake. I had been looking at the latest Mk.I kit and noticed that it had an interior and assumed that the new Mk.IXc had it to. Well, I was wrong so perhaps it would have been better to use the Cooper set on the new kit. |
| More of the Spitfire parts that will never be used goes in to the old mould spit. The exhausts on the old kit look odd and I found some new in a box. |
| I also found some Aeroclub landing gear and some resin guns. I broke one of the guns and it had gone missing so I needed a new. |
| What to do when the nose became a mess? |
| Dive in to the spare part boxes . |
| A little blue looks nice on the grey. |
| I don't understand why I do this. I hate to paint and there are invasion stripes on the decal sheet so why did I decide on painting them? |
| Painting didn't turn out a complete disaster. Some minor touch up is needed. |
| Finally, I managed to start on the decals... |
