  Hellenic Independence Day 2008 

 

The Spitfire Vc trop from Tamiya, builds OOB, with the exception the wing panel lines, that rescribed almost the half of (the -c version has an additional gun in both sides and the panels are different exactly for this reason).  The new gun hood and fairing are scratch built.
Another extra is the flexible frame on the windshield and canopy from True Details.

The model takes first a coat of silver and the three basic colours of the camo, coming from Valejo, well thinned with distillate water and some drops of white, to give the color fading.
Finally, the decals come from a very old set, helping them with Liquid Decal from Microscale.
