  1/48 Italeri Spitfire Mk.XVIe

  Although I mostly build jet aircraft, every now and then I try something different like this 1/48 Spitfire Mk.XVIe in Belgian airforce markings. This is the Italeri kit, a reboxing of the older but still quite nice Occidental kit. This was a rather simple build, with the aircraft being constructed largely out of the box without any major problems, I just added a couple of items from an Eduard zoom set in the cockpit (instrument panel, some side panel details, gunsight and seat belts).

  Colours are all Humbrol enamels, the nicely thin decals are from the kit and worked out very good. Weathering is a combination of pre- and postshading, followed by a wash with thinned enamels to enhance the panel lines. Finally, some paint chipping was done with a silver pencil.

  Hope you like the pics!
