That's a nice start, and I'm sure the interior will be gorgeous when painted with all these details

Holger Kranich
Hey Oliver, what kind of paint do you use as cockpit-colour? Tamiya XF? Gunze H? Vallejo?

Stefan Schacht
Hi Oliver, sehr schönes Cockpit 👍

As a great fan of the best and most beautiful fighter plane of WW II, I would say:

Nice to see you want to continue this rare seen last Variant of the Mk IX.
She is much more beautiful as the Mk. IX, because of the cut-down rear fuselage and the all-round vision sliding hood.
A very elegant bird she is!

I like your eye for details in the cockpit area and your micro-paint job is amazing.
The weathering effect is really nice!

Only the white photo background drops down the nice colouring of your model. A blue background sounds better, believe in me.

But there are sadly some boring model magazines, who need such unreasonable requirements....😉😉😉😉

Nevertheless, your first steps promise a great model.
I will sit down and take a cup of tea!

Thanks Guys!
I´m wondering that you like it so much!
@Holger: simply the best...Gunze!
@Dirk: white....youre right, that this isn´t really the best color for background.

Dirk Heyer
Olli, you are wondering??
This is one of the s*xiest fighter airplanes!

Excellent start! I see in your title that you are planning a French Spitfire - which unit markings will you use? I agree with Dirk - the low back Spitfires are very beautiful! Can't wait to see how this progresses, I'm sure it will be very good! 🙂

Oliver Peissl
GW O Y will be the markings. Its from the 340sqn. GC II/2 Ile de France
