  1. "Certain that their target was London, Park was no longer intercepting as far forward as he used to...He would hit them hardest at the point the Germans called 'die grosse Angstkurve uber London' ('the dreaded big turn over London)...Park had given his young braves height and surprise...As his forward units engaged, Park ordered up his own reserve, his Praetorian Guard of 602 and 303..." - Stephen Bungay, The Most Dangerous Enemy My plan is to build a Polish 303 Sqn Hurricane from the new 1/72 Arma kit, and 602 Sqn Spitfire from the already venerable 1/72 Airfix kit (probably the two most popular kits in this Group Build, so I don't get points for originality). I've got some 303 references all ready to go: And have thrown a little primer on the kit interiors. First up the Hurricane: And next the Spitfire: It's actually the Mk Va boxing, but contains everything needed for a Mk I.
  2. This build took place late June to early July 2015 after residing in my stash since 2007/8 (can't remember exactly when I bought it) After the Tamiya 109E3 I wanted to try something that was not so shake 'n' bake and, as I wanted a Spitfire to go with the 109, I dug this one out. Work began with spraying the interior a custom mix of RAF interior green using Tamiya paints and then a light wash of burnt umber oils And then threw some paint in the general direction of the pilot figure Oh BTW can anyone tell me how to scale the picture sizes within the post? Whatever size the picture is it comes out enormous. Instrument panel painted up and dial markings scratched in to the faces. Interior assembled and pilot in place I had heard that the trailing edges on the flying surface were a little thick in this kit...no kidding! I think they were a scale 6 inches After much sanding, checking, sanding, checking....... I got the thicknesses to where I no longer cared. Closed up the fuselage added the wings and tailplanes, filled, sanded, refilled, resanded.......added canopy and arrived at the stage below Oh and I also thinned out the oversized cockpit door hinge. Canopy masked.. a bit harder than masking the 109 canopy And sprayed interior colour A nice coat of Halfords grey primer later... Some Tamiya flat aluminium toned down with Tamiya smoke in all the relevant places A bit of preshading After careful and strategic application of masking fluid a nice coat of RAF Sky (another custom mix of Tamiya paints) being careful not to completely obliterate all signs of the preshade. I decided I would try a something new (to me) and spray the camo freehand. I feel that the edges could have more definition but quite pleased with the result. At this point I think I had a rush of blood and completed the build without any further photo's But here it is. I used Xtradecal sheet X48145 as the kit sheet was rubbish. I think I only used the kit decal sheet's stencils And there it is. My second full build after a lengthy hiatus. You can find this aircraft accosting Adolph Galland's Bf109E3 in this RFI Comments and criticisms always welcome.
