Here are a few more photos of the finished machine. This build, including excellent decals, is straight from the Eduard box with no extra add-ons. This is one of the most enjoyable models I have ever built, with such great fit and wonderful additions that are part of the Royal Class packaging.

The decals I selected are for a LF Mk.IX, MH779, assigned to 453 Squadron, RAAF, at the time of the Normandy invasion.

Once again, I must highly recommend this kit for anyone wanting a 1/48 Mk.IX Spitfire! I haven't even started with the second model, slipper fuel tank, beer kegs, optional wheels and tires, numerous decal options and photoetched flaps--these add even more value to the Royal Class Spitfire. 

Special thanks to Eduard for this review model and to our own draken35 for shipping the review kit over here.
