Rafbanter Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Hi All, Some pics of 3 Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk 1s I did as a quick build project. this is the kit that I made when getting back into modelling a little over 2 decades ago & it goes together just as well as it did then. I found it was just as fast to build 3 as to build one. Well, my self-critique is that the brown is wrong ( a little too chocolat-ey) as I had run out of Dark Earth and tried to mix some that looked different in the jar (honestly!) but anyhow.., and QJ-D is fictional. Thanks for looking 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cngaero Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 That's brightened my morning up. Three lovely Spitfires. They're all great looking builds and nicely finished. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

426 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 One Spit is normally enough, but three all at the same time. Heaven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for looking Three very nice Mk1's there, but the QJ-D might not be that fictional! During the Battle of Britain, both 92 and 616 sqns carried the QJ codes, I'm sure that 616 had one coded QJ-D, but uncertain of its serial number.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
