    Academy 1/48 Spitfire XIVc

    Hi all;

    Completed this a couple of weeks ago as part of my ongoing attempt to model all of 41 Squadron's aircraft in 1/48. This is the much-maligned Academy MkXIVc; the nose is way too fat, so I replaced it with a Quickboost resin replacement nose, prop and spinner. I also used bits and pieces from a DACO resin set - radiators, wheels, gun covers. Other than the nose shape, the model is actually pretty good - goes together well, crisp surface detail.

    Model represents RM797 in early 1945 when based at Volkel in the Netherlands.

      Nowt wrong with that. In fact it looks very good indeed. I have read of the shape issues and you efforts to get it sorted have worked very well indeed.

            It looks really good. Nice shading on the paint work.
