When I first went to airshows in the late 70s / early 80s there was a very eye catching bright red Spitfire on show. Spencer Flackās G-FIRE stood out from the crowd for me & I always wanted to do G-HUNT and G-FIRE in model form. So when Airfix released their Mk.XIV kit with G-FIRE decals I had to have one. Nice enough built too. Great cockpit detail that you can barely see. There is a great thread on here of advice regarding build & colours too. Anyway this is how she looks
And this is a picture of her I took at Mildenhall Airfete 82 (I think). Funnily enough I found a better photo from the same show at the same time on Flickr. I think the guy with a better camera was stood behind me when I too this. I was only little at the time!
And a few more of the kit
Well that is a bit of my childhood recreated. Thanks for looking
