Spitfire mk VIII Sharkmouth
Robomog:
Hi all
Always had a plan to build a sharkmouth Spitfire but never had the excuse.
Here's the starting point
The decals from the kit are inaccurate, battered and suspect, but I have an Almark set which covers a couple of Austrailian examples so I'm going for it.
It's a pretty old tooling so there are a few sink marks to fill and I know the fit of the kit is not particularly good as I used this kit as the basis for a pink PR11i built last year, also the propeller is deformed so I have ordered a resin replacement.
A boring real world build but nonetheless it has a mouth !
More when it happens......

PS I have switched to Imgur for my photo hosting so the posted pictures may be a bit erratic, basically I've got fed up with Flickr moving the goalposts and trying to force me into paying for an account I can't afford. :icon_twisted:

A OTL model - a excellent start :smiley:

From one of my posts in the Inspirations thread, 'Mog; these are from the squadron in question (the first one is worth a closer look, as you can see the shark mouth has been modified):
Robomog:
Thanks OW
interesting set of pics the top one has two sets of eyes and the third has a completely different mouth (as you pointed out)
Gives me some possible variations, (tempted by the four eyes ;))
Sport25ing :- please define OTL not familiar with that one (I'm not very good with TLA's ;D)
