Here is my 1/32
Revell-Hasegawa Spitfire Mk.1a finished with the markings of Farquhar's Mk.1a K9962.
In fact this is re-issue of old Hasegawa's hybrid release (ST14 in 2001) with Revell brand years ago. In this kit, Hasegawa produced new wings parts . The wings have been scribed with the correct panel lines and shell ejector ports. The fuselage, cockpit, landing gear and minor parts are all lifted directly from the vintage plastic of the
Mk.Vb. The problem is the mismatching surface detail - engraved on the wings and raised elsewhere. And also note that
the oil cooler needs to be backdated.

So first step in build process is removing surface detail mismatching by scribing fuselage panel lines.
Second step is modifying the cockpit area. For this upgrading I have used the following goodies:
I have used "Archer fine transfer" fasteners set for detailing engine cowling.
Other modifications are:
-
Masterdetails horizontal surfaces
-
Eagle part Mk1 oil cooler
-
Barracudacast cockpit door
-
Quickboost exhaust and propeller set
-
Barracudacast wheels
-
