Tuan-tuan dan Puan-puan sempena pengistiharan 1/32 Tamiya Spitfire MkIX saya
memberi anda 1/48 ICM Spitfire MkIX Double Ace Sqn Ldr J.Plagis 15+2 victories
126th Sqn England June 1944.

Ok , thats as far as my C5 SPM BM can bring me.More pictures to come this is all for now as work is calling again.I just couldnt resist posting a shot as finished product from this kit is more than I hoped for.I pushed weathering and detailing and painting a little further than I normally do and was rewarded.

Flat coat to come , lights to be added, panel line wash needs to be done also as well as some mud on the wheels and a figure as well as the cockpit door and a few other things too.

thanks for viewing :)
ahhui

Sweet! Love the paint job. The invasion stripes look great too. Waiting to see this one completed.

Nice one Capt

Looks like the decals has set very well among other things..........

Best
Mr B

Pengistiharan Tuan Hamba sungguh bermakna!!!

Chantiq wooooo!!! Ada lagi?

Sarjana Six Zero, out!!

Spiffy looking Spit ^_^

Terima kasih para para hadirin sekelian!
All clear parts not glued yet, they are just sitting there hyuk hyuk.
All stripes are painted as no decals provided.
Ade sikit lagi before final completion.

ahhui


seat might be wrong color...oh well too late now . :P

Encik Chew

Cantik dan molek. Atau, ikut kata mat salleh: lovely jovely

Now, increase the size by double and join the 24th scale GB. Big is good. :lol: :lol:

Terima Kasih Encik Tanah Shah or should i say Tany Shah.
1/24? aiyaaa tangan gatai tapi tempat tada!

very the 'cantik' Spitfuer tuan kapten...

der Spitfuer ist kommenden along very nicely !

u should consider building a post war Spit in all metalic finishing... B)

err how you do the cockpit details ahhh? any tips ?

Tuan Herr kay , the instruments are decals, using a punch and die set to knock them out in neat circles.Decals from a Nakajima B5N1 Kate...dont tell anyone ar...
Thanks!

ya the kit dont have any decals for instruments and the detail not high enough for easy painting.A blob of white glue makes em shiny.
The airfix 1/72 PRXIX with malaya markings is a nice option also the Seafire in 1/48 also in HMS Triumph in Malaya comunists ops is nice also.

Did you know that Spitfire and Kate are cousins?

A drop of future can make for nice shiny dials too.

One could also consider drilling out the dials, thinning the panel a little and placing the decal behind a thin clear acetate sheet. A little bit more work and effort but should give more depth to the office.

Ah, fools seldom differ. FR47 Seafire...my project for MGB next year, in 1/32


Loo: I didnt know that. Did you know Shinden is Spitfire spelt backwards in Japanese?

Splendid job, old chap.

We should chit-chat over this little fellow over some tea and scones one of these weekends after a round of cricket, wot?

Cool!

Did you know Tojo was the inspriration for Mojo Jojo?

Did you know that Jay Chan and Michael Chew are really not relatives?

did you know the tomato is the world's most popular fruit ?

Smashing idea Old Bean! Still have the darjeling from Mrs Perkins?

kay, did you know your name is on the side of the spitfire?"kay"

jolly good show old chap ! after this we shall proceed with a hot cup of tea...Tally Ho ! :D

^_^ Pip pip!

she is done.the cockpit door was scratched built as i screwed up the old door trying to shave off some molded detail.
many thanks

awesome work man, awesome!!!!! My George still sitting in the WIP areas............ U so fast!! No face to meet ya'll... :(

Thanks Vince but this bird is 1/48 scale , no 1/24 Spitfire MkIX mainstream kit in production.

here are 2 of the figs that came with the kit 1/48 scale also.

I agree with Bomber Vince, awesome work. Great looking Spitfire. I love the invasion stripes. Those figures look pretty cool too.

Ah Hui, you make 72nd look like 48th...and 48th like 24th...and then some!

Fantastico!! Cant wait to see your 24th scale build..it will look like 1/8th maybe :D

thanks Twong!

Thanks Aneh, maybe I should extend my airbrushing service to people who need size enhancement.
nalede! :lol:

I say crikey old chap...getting stripy on me ay! Damn awfully good job there.

Dey!! I awso wan to do one like this. Got one 48th scale 3 blade VB Airfix sitting in the shelf. Can follow same same like you ah. :D Syiok nya see your plane.

I say old chap were the three blade VB's still around for Overlord?

Sorry, the usual Eurasian dilemma with language. :lol:

Richard.

bos, i didnt notice that this kit comes with figures..i bought two last year and i havent check on it yet. is yours the one with engines and wing mg?, i mean i know the engine details are 1st class and i was wondering why you didnt show any of it unless your is the one without engines.
btw bos good build, and to wet your lips...the 1/32 swordfish sudah masok :lol: ..you would love this one bos

Thanks Ol' Aneh! The MkV very handsome plane, by the way the D Day scheme inspired from visits to the Last Bastion.

For Queen And Country!

Thanks Bos Ari, I didnt display the engine bcos I malas to do the wiring etc.Maybe on my next build as I have 3 more ICM spits.The prop was slightly modifided also.
The figures only come with the MkIX in a special boxing Spitire MkIX with RAF pilots and ground personnel. kit no 48801.The figures are also included in Tamiya MkIV recent release.They even give you a dog.
1/32 swordfish? heh heh I pass la bos.

Wah! Ahhui u so fast finished another build.
SUPER NICE as usual, already downloaded all pics for reference, hehehe. :P

waaa rugi la like that...i believe you would do a nice job on the engine, infact i believe anyone would as the engines are bery good. so you are the guy who sapu all icm spits from peter..hahaha, lucky i got 2 :lol: . anyway alot of guys didnt take note that this is a very good and highly detailed kit, well maybe coz its not tamiya or hase. believe me guys ...just grab one if you see them....and its cheap too.


you sure you wanna pass the sword bos?...actually i ordered 1 sword and 1 Bac lighting, but once i open the swordfish box....waaah...my mouth just open wide, its huge and the details are truly superb,honestly i have never seen such a beauty...i ended up buying two of them...and cancel the Bac...well the Bac is good but i kenot afford to buy 3 boxes all at once la...the wife will kill me ,to curi curi masuk rumah with a 1/32scale box is still acceptable, 2 boxes is a bit risky, but 3 boxes is plain asking for trouble :lol:

Yah very rugi waste that engine, the air ministry wont be happy.
I still havent bought a 1/32 scale kit ,the Tamiya Spit MkIX might be my first.
You need a 1/32 Japanese Milch Cow to smuggle those kits.

figure has been painted!Thanks to Capt Kirk I know how to make oil paints flat.Spray a flat coat on it....I would have never done it if I didnt think it possible if he didnt tell me.

the best part of this figure is he seems to be very happy.ICM have done a good job molding it.Not showing his legs because of the blue tack. :lol:
