1/72 Hasegawa Spitfire PR Mk.XI

Gallery Article by J.C. Bahr

 

 

This is a Hasegawa 1/72 Spitfire Mk.IX that I modified into a PR Mk.XI using the vac-canopy, lower cowling and wing camera bulges from the Ventura limited run-kit.

All of the armament and its associated panel lines were removed from the wings and most of the markings consist of dry transfers that were applied to clear decal film and sealed before being applied to the model.

Someday this model will have a similarly marked Tamiya Mosquito parked next to it.
