I finished the article on the Spitfire FR Mk.XIVe the other day and posted it to the main site (link in bio). It tells the story of the the RAF's brief presence in Viet Nam at Tan Son Nhut airfield in Saigon in late 1945/early 1946.

A little late on posting this but the Mk.XIVe is done.

The uppers are mostly painted now, only the squadron markings and serial number plus some details remaining such as the wing walk lines. After that, the stencil decals.

My Spitfire is coming along. Underside painted, including the markings from masks I made. Next, a few of the stencil decals.

That’s a wrap on the magnificent @tamiya_inc_jp #148scale #faireyswordfish built as a Taranto raider. Glamour shots and write up coming soon.

The fuselage is done. The wings next.
