HobbyBoss 1/32 Spitfire Mk VB

By Rob Sullivan

Here is my latest Diorama based on a 1/32 Hobbyboss Spitfire mk VB. I'm calling this one "Reliving the encounter". I've added the following aftermarket to the Spitfire.

• Barracuda Cockpit Door and Cockpit Upgrade set - awesome bit of kit!
• RB Barrels for the Hispano Cannons
• Xtradecals for the markings of BL370, Gurgaon II Punjab

I added bits and pieces of detailing, built up the backrest for the seat out of 2 part epoxy, and added hydraulic brake lines to the landing gear.

Figures are from Masterbox. I'm still learning on how to paint these guys, used oils and techniques in some online tutorials.

Base is made from spakfilla and a new grass mat I came across on an online store. Mat was washed with various tones of brown and green, and I added flowers from a weed around the house...

The real aircraft in this Diorama is actually on display at the WW2 museum in New Orleans, albeit slightly altered.

Cheers!
