Hi all;
Another instalment in the labour of love/hate project! This is the Academy Spitfire XIVe; it has many inaccuracies, not least of which is the shape of the nose - too fat, too stubby. Add to that the wrong shaped rudder, wrong shaped prop and spinner, wrong radiator housings, wrong cannons - well, you get the idea. I managed to get hold of a hard-to-come-by, out of production, DACO resin correction set that solves many of the difficulties.
Finished as NH915, flown by Flt Lt Derek Rake; this aircraft shot down 41's final victory of the war, a Ju188 on 3 May 1945 - it was also 41's 200th victory of the conflict.
