I've built a couple of these before. Not half as good as yours, but I did make an effort to spruce them up. (Not gonna lie, I've made several of these, plus the Me109, and they scrub up reasonably well...!)

Very smart. The Heller kit is an old favourite - I still have a few stashed away!

Very smart. The real Yellow 7 is now flying again......

Very smart. I've seen that one on the Battle of Britain group on Facebook.

Very smart! I built a couple of those a while back, but they don't look anywhere near as good as that!

Thanks. I'm sure there are things wrong with it, but it looked nice, and the customer was happy with the result!

Thanks. I don't often build in this scale (more usually 1/72, where the lights aren't always visible!) so that's my excuse for not painting the lights on! No, this is the newer Mk.II that came out a while ago (2014, I think).

A wee while ago, a guy came up to buy a painting from me, and he then began to ask about the numerous(!) Spitfire models I had out on display. Within ten minutes, he'd convinced me to build a model for his brother, who is a massive Spitfire fan. I met with the guy's brother, and his spec was simple: build a Battle of Britain-type Spitfire. During the course of the discussion, he'd mentioned reading Geoffrey Wellum's book, First Light, and had watched the TV-film made from it. That helped make my mind up for the colour scheme, as I knew the RAF's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire IIa had worn Wellum's markings once. Anyway, this was the end result - Revell's big Spitfire IIa. A fun build, although I hated the fact that the seat was in so many parts (I mean, seriously?!). The kit's inaccuracies weren't a bother on this one, as P7350 has the metal ailerons and circular oil cooler anyway. I enjoyed it so much that I've actually bought one for myself - and might do another one after that!

Lovely. I've also done the Special Hobby Buchon, among others. Don't think it's as nice as yours, though!

Sorry, but I've only just seen this while looking for something else. That is stunning! I built the same kit, in the same markings, a wee while ago. Don't think it's anywhere near as good as yours, though!

No, definitely not a dream, as I built one of those not that long back as a Mk.XVI.

Great stuff! I built one of them not so long back - went together well and came out pretty nicely!

Looks great! Really want to crack on with mine, now (although it probably won't look half as good!) Love that spinning prop shot, too. Who knows, such a sight might be at Duxford in a few years...!

Very nice.
