India Independence Day

 

This is what if Spitfire of the Indian Airforce.  This Academy model is an easy build with good fit and details.  I finished this model OOB and used Model Master enamels.  I started off making this kit in SEAC colors. Then I came across a silver finished Spitfire in IAF colors which I found out later that IAF never had this version post Independence. Moral of story when you research one should see an actual picture of the aircraft.

Over all a easy and satisfying build

Wishing everyone a Happy Independence day “Jai Hind”.
