Pegasus 1/72 Supermarine Spiteful F.XIV RB521 1946

[David Womby]

 

This is RB521 as flown by Eric 'Winkle' Brown in 1946.   It's the old Pegasus injected kit.  There were two slightly different releases.  This is the earlier of the two, the white one shown on the left -

 

 

There was a lot of flash on the fuselage and the mating surfaces needed attention but the kit fit together well and has nice engraved detail.  I used an Aeroclub white metal prop and exhausts.  For its vintage and method of production, I was quite impressed with the kit.

Good realisation of an aircraft you don't see everyday!

Great job by the way.

Thats a really smart job, I like the look of what you've done with it. I had the left hand one myself but moved it on after I chickened out. Well done to you.

Really nice build. Never seen that kit. Build the rare planes kit a long time ago and I have another in the pile.

David....

 

I think Eric "Winkle "Brown would have been Stunned to see his Mount built SO  MAGNIFICENTLY.

 

I think it most Effulgent in those colors too.

 

Rare to see such a great job on rare kits.

 

well done.
