Airfix 1/72 Spitfire PR XIX...

Here's my Airfix new mold 1/72 Spitfire PR XIX using Blackbird Models Turkish Spitfires decal sheet. It's a pretty nice little kit, only taking a week to build. The only fault with it is the lower camera bay clear parts are a bit small for the area they are meant to cover, so I used Testors clear parts glue for the clear there. Also new was my use of SMS paints PRU Blue. I bought it on a whim as Humbrol has discontinued their colour and Gunze don't match it. Very nice paint, sprayable right out of the bottle. I'll be buying more of them for sure.

A really lovely and unusual build. Very striking colour scheme.

Having built a couple of these I can say you have done a fine job there Brad. I think similar markings are on the Xtradecal sheet I used on my builds.

What TOR said, definitely a rarely seen scheme but looks great Brad.
I like the way you've done the exhaust stains as well, very subtle.
