This is the Sword 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk. IV Trop, in the markings of a machine, BR416 of No.2 PRU, that was based at Marbel Arch, North Africa, in 1942. It comes with options for Vokes or Aboukir chin filters, extended wingtips, and two types of exhaust stacks. It is a limited-run kit, so the fit in some areas, such as the top wings to fuselage, needs filler or spacers. I installed the extended wingtips, adding plastic card to the bottome edges to add strength. The result looks slightly off, but has the necessary rigidity to survive as a finished model. I'm happy to have this unique Sptifire in my collection. I am a photographer by profession, therefore, I love reconnaissance aircraft.
