discussion Colin M's 1/48 Airfix Spitfire PR.XIX

[colin m]

This will be my GB entry.


The very last of the Spitfire. There's an option in the box for a PRU Blue version which is the one I'll go for.

Looks interesting Colin. PRU blue Spitfires always look great. That brown and green scheme looks rather out of place on the late mark.

Nice choice of kit - I have the 1/72 kit in the stash. I do actually like the boxart, it makes a nice change from the two tone PRU scheme.

That is a bit odd, I'll have to check the instructions to see if it was a specific thearter of operation. I think the Spitfire's last RAF operational flight was over Malaya, that might have something to do with it ?

Yes, I much prefer the single tone PRU blue, rather than the two tone.

I had to look twice at this one Colin when I saw the EE Lightning alongside the Spitfire on the box art. A very interesting scenario.
