Johnnie Johnson Spitfire Vb


Recommended Posts

This is a Spitfire Vb, supposedly flown by Johnnie Johnson when he was Squadron Leader of 610 Sqn late '42.

Everyone ends up with the JE-J MkIX, so I figured I'de tackle one of his earlier mounts, and add a Vb to my Spit collection, thus filling an obvious void.

This was supposed to be a quick, mostly OOB build thats turned into something else. Hunting up the decals in the stash, I found a long lost box of Spitfire bits, so I dragged out some Eduard, some Part and plenty of Ultracast.

Paint is a mixture of Tamiya, Pollyscale and Xtracrylics.

Weathering is chalk wash and pastels.

Chipping is overdone :cheers: (but I'm learning).

Decals are from the Victory Productions - Aces of the Empire sheet.

Cheers,

Matt
