595 Squadron Spitfire XII

Some photos of my attempt at the new Airfix 1/48 Spitfire XII, finished in the markings of MB845 of 595 Squadron at Aberporth in 1945.

Very nice model. When I first saw it I thought it was a die cast model.

A die-cast! How very dare you! Seriously, thanks for all of the comments folks.

Out of interest, was this aircraft unarmed? I notice your build has the cannon barrels blanked off.

The photo I have showed the cannons removed. It was operated in the anti-aircraft co-operation role so presumably didn’t need to be armed.

Very nice build indeed, and interesting choice of colour scheme. I’ve seen several pics and build articles on this kit in the last couple of weeks, and I have to say yours is possibly the best of the lot!
