Spitfire Mk IX 1:144

[Marudek]

Hi,

I'd like to show you my latest 144 model. I guess it doesn't need to be introduced over here










I used Eduard model kit, Brengun PE detail set, Master gun barrels and some of my own upgrades, namely: resin flaps, separate control surfaces, gun and ammo bays, engine bay (the engine was 3D printed but the rest is traditional scratch just copied with resin). These are the resin and vacu pieces I made:







Best regards,
Marudek

Absolutely stunning work peter, in such a tiny scale too . Your scratchbuilt extras look superb it must have taken some serious magnifying lenses to complete this !! Fantastic work , cheers tony

Thanks for your kind words! Some bits were really tricky. I was satisfied with flaps masters only after I made third set

I use 5x magnifying lamp and sometimes that is not enough. I wish I had some good camera plugged to some LCD screen

Outstanding work in every way, I doubt I'd be able to make a 1/48 Spitfire look that good, never mind a 1/144.

Habe fun, John

Hi!

I must admit it was a bit tricky to make these additional bits and pieces, but once I got them right it was just an upgrade kit to combine with Eduard and Brengun parts (I used their excellent PE cockpit).

I'm sure if you had the same parts I did, then you'd be able to build even better model (I think my paint job is rubbish). Speaking of - I stil have few upgrade sets and even drawn instructions for it. If anyone is interested, then please have a look to 'For sale/wanted'.
