Good evening everyone... Ive been building so much lately and that my last four builds have all finished in the last week. This is build #16 it is an 1/72 Eduard Spitfire Mk.VIII in the markings of Group Captain R.Findlay Boyd. https://www.bbm.org.uk/airmen/BoydRF.htm This was his personal aircraft while in Command of 293 Group in SEAC. “December 1944: in Air Defence of Calcutta, EAC, with 69 (Beaufighter) and 615 (Spitfire) Sqns.” I hope it meets your expectations. This was the fourth of four Spitfires built for the Spitfire/Seafire STGB. Here are a couple of group photo’s of the four. A link to the build for those interested. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235071807-boyd’s-mkviii/ Please feel free to ask questions, post comments, and or add thoughts. Dennis

Hello everyone.... Well #3 for the Spitfire single type group build is done. I’d like to present my 1/72 Eduard Mk.VIII Spitfire in the markings of W/C Bobby Gibbes A58-497. This plane sadly crashed while on a test hop after engine maintenance from Sattler strip. At the time was where 457 Sq. was stationed. The engine failed at approximately 100’ ft and gibbes circled and crashed, It burned out and sadly never saw combat. At some point shortly before that Gibbes test flew it with clipped tips to see if the performance was changed. The modification was short lived as upper echelon frowned upon the mod. At which time regular tips were added back. My build represents the plane during the clipped wing test phase. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments, and or add thoughts. Dennis
