  1. I cannot remember where I heard it but current curators of MH434 were discussing it's status (it may have been a PodCast, sorry about no reference) and said that the ultimate aim is to get her as close to the pic further up of her in squadron service. Shore carb intake and broader breech covers as they acknowledged that the current configuration is a bit inaccurate historically. As correctly stated IXb was used on RAF maintenance forms to signify an LF.IX as opposed to an F.IX.
  2. The EDSG car paint maybe my fault. That firm offer custom colours, I ordered some EDSG from them. I guess they made a batch!
  3. I bough the Italeri kit ages ago to build and sold it again as the sheer size of it in 1:48 gave me a headache as to where to put it. This will be easier to display and is therefore gratefully pre-ordered.
  4. I saw that, very impressive work. I’m happy to wait for an OOB VIII, I’m also hoping for an XII as well. But that’s probably a bit of a stretch!
  5. Ahhh, thank you. I’m building mine now & was thinking how great a canvas it would be for the makings of A58-631, ZP-V from 457 Squadron.
  6. Popping this in here rather than starting a new thread, I presume that there will be a Mk.VIII at some point? The rear fuselage insert piece suggest a retractable tail wheel would be an option.
  7. I’m interested in building one. My Great Uncle flew these: Sub.Lt. Oliver Dixon RNVR. FAA 815 sdn Fairey Albacore I HMS Grebe Missing presumed killed 23 July 1942.
  8. Exciting Update! Halfords Vauxhall Reed Green: pretty much a perfect WW2 RAF interior green. Using it on my 1/24 Spitfire IX now.
  9. Well that’s the plan B, which of course I shall report back on. Just wanted to know if anyone had tread this ground already.
  10. Apologies if this has been asked before but I am going to build my 1/24 Spitfire IX in flight. I have the pilot figure from my 1/24 Typhoon as well as the old 1/24 Spitfire Mk.I pilot. The Typhoon pilot is much more detailed, does anyone know if he fits? Thanks in advance.
  11. I think it would be fantastic & can only echo the comments that such an anticipated kit of such an iconic subject MUST be done by the A-Team. 1:72 Victor 1:24 Spitfire 1:48 Buccaneer 1:48 Sea King thats the quality required. I know Airfix can do it.
  12. My Grandfather was a Nav on Halifax B.III with 433 Squadron. I built his kit when I was a kid and it was poorly fitting then! You have made a silk purse from a sow's ear (and I think that's being unkind to pigs). As above; "C'mon Airfix, extract a digit and give us a decent B.III in 1/72 to go with the excellent Whitley, Wellington & Lancaster!"
  13. The wing works with the Spitfire XII to make a Seafire XV. Which I did a while ago…
