MODEL: Supermarine Spitfire Mk II
BRAND: Lodela
UNIT: 41 Squadron
CODES: EB-Z
SCALE: 1/72
PAINTING: El Viejo Marino
TECHNIQUE: Brush
NOTES: By some strange miracle, I recently found three Spitfires from the Optional Line for Collectors, I assembled them with modern materials, photocut for the interiors, thermoformed cockpit, paint for more exact modeling The Old Marine, all the decoration is by brush, Very useful, since two of the models did not have decals. It was quite an experience, to do something so old, to look so good.
