1/72 Spitfire T.9 kit....

« on: February 24, 2011, 09:30:17 AM »

Just noticed this kit is now available: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Rev4/3501-3600/rev3532-CMR-176/00.shtm

It includes markings for ML407 in Irish Air Corps guise and I doubt it would take much effort to produce a new rear canopy and modify the rear cockpit to build ML407 as she is today. Pity it's in 1/72 scale though....1/48 or 1/32 would have been better.
Regards.

Graham

Graham,

I sense that you may make this kit and add it to your model collection ??
After all a change to the rear canopy to reflect ML407 today would not be a problem with your excellent modeling skills....

I could resurrect my glue and stick from the past !!!

Andy

Hello all. Now this is model making in the extreme.

This gentleman might be a good source for hard to get parts.

Also, some good footage of the Mk.26 manufactured in Texas. Not sure if it is the same one made down under.
