Spitfire FR Mk.IXc

[No.1]

New project is Spitfire FR Mk.IXc and for this purpose I will use Eduard Overstress kit (kit which come in white box, no instruction, no decals...) as well a number of Eduard upgrade set's and custom designed and printed decals (it is I). Material look as on images

Good choice, PR airplanes don't get much attention!

[No.1]

Thanks Yes, they are real heroes, fly alone deep inside enemy terrototy, in many cases without armed airplane, this is real daring missions.

[Second Air Force]

Yes, a lonely duty to fly PR! My father remembered the high-flying recon airplanes on (from both sides) flying above his unit in Africa. In fact it was one of his strongest memories of airplanes!

And somehow cockpit is completed

[No.1]

Work on wing is next and whyt I do is dril holes in central section of bottom wing. Reason for that is that I will use drop tank, original machine use it

[No.1]

Some sanding and grinding of wing bottom is on demand, to manage wings to fit to fuselage

[Second Air Force]

Oh, clearance for resin parts?

The belly tank will be a good addition, not often is the "slipper" tank seen on Spit models.
