A while back I was thinking a Spitfire PR.XIX with bubble canopy could be pretty cool. Thing is, no XIXs left in The Stash. But a friend had sent me an Xtrakit 1/72 Mk.22 last year….add decals from another friend and voila: meet the Spitfire PR.23!

The light today’s really washed it out but it’s in overall Humbrol PRU Blue. Because of course! Hoping Spit experts can spot the PR mods I added and I also hope they don't point out the flaws etc because it's not intended to be serious and I had a lot of fun with the whole build. Thanks again, Bungle.

Ah yes, F 11 Nykping's PR Spitfire S 31B. That's bound to drive a few rivet-counters bonkers ;D
Nice one Zac ... you're on a roll :smiley:

Excellent idea Zac! :smiley:
There is no such thing as having too many PR Spitfires in your collection.

Spit's look rather fetching in blue

Refreshing different color to see Spitfire wearing. Like color combined with bubble canopy and 5-blade prop. :smiley:
Is flashback to my first model: Aurora 1/48 Spitfire in blue plastic.

I got so stuck on coming up with a Flygvapnet designation I eventually forgot entirely! :-[

It's honest-to-goodness PRU Blue, but for some reason the natural light washed it out like you wouldn't believe! My wife likes it too, I'm worried she won't like the real one now...
