Hello everyone,
This is my Eduard Spitfire IX, with the addon Merlin and etch from the Royal Class boxing. I intended to build this as just the aircraft, but it quickly mushroomed in to a little diorama. Great fun building this, the kit and addons are a joy. This is my first aircraft finished in acrylics for ages, and the first time I have ever painted 1/48 rabbits and made a 1/48 jam sandwich!
































cheers
Gareth

Very nice work!

I love how you've added the wildflowers at the edge of the mowed grass area: it gives the scene extra depth.

Is that a Canadian Spit?

Top notch as usual, goon!

In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Nice, EN398 later became JE-J. First time I've seen those hubcaps on a Mk.IX, great detail.
