Bonjour from
Normandy, France. This Airfix kit of the Spitfire Mk.XII was built OOB without
any aftermarket parts.

I have just added
scratchbuilt harness and a thinner gunsight. MB 882 was the last Mk.XII
produced, therefore the IFF is a small blade antenna under the right wing, this
meaning there is not any IFF wire running from airframe to the stabilizers.
Spitfires being equipped with VHF radio set since the late Mark Ia and Mark II,
and contrarily to the drawing on the box, there is no antenna from the aerial
mast to the fin.
This kit is
one of the easiest kits I have built. Next one will be the Seafire Mk 17.
Happy
modelling !
