My bench is clear and I am very excited to build these two very interesting post-war Spitfires, one from Denmark (1950s) and the other from Norway in 1946. The Norwegian will be a Mk.IXe and the Danish bird will be a Mk.IX bubble top. Both are AZ Model kits and although many people have had issues with these kits I have built quite a few and have found the experience quite enjoyable. Their detail is good, their fit is very workable and, in the end, one ends up with a very good facsimile of the aircraft. I mean, it's not Eduard, but what is? Here are the required opening shots... Norway... Denmark... And that's it. I hope to start in tomorrow morning but it is only 19:40 on a Saturday night, the wind's howling and the rain is coming down and there isn't much else to do...Hmmm... I also have a KP Mig-21bis from Finland waiting in the Nissen hut...dare I? Ohhhh boy...🤪 --John- 68 replies

I have been resting on my laurels a bit so I figured I'd get back into the Spitfire game and crank out another AZ Model kit, this time a MK.22 of either the Egyptian or Syrian Air Force. The Egyptian bird is from the Suez Conflict. The same might be said of the Syrian aircraft but I am not sure. And yet, I might just build the S. Rhodesian aircraft from 1954. Who knows at this stage? What I do know is that these are older moulds (even though it says 'new tool' on the box) and there is a fair amount of very fine flash all around the edges of most pieces. Also, this was pressed before they decided to press solid wheels as the wheels are in halves that must be assembled. I think I might try to find some spares in the stash somewhere. In any case, here's the box art... ..and the back... Sprue, decals and a nice PE seatbelt set. Note that they also give me the parts for a Seafire, which I will not use. I have heard things about these older AZ Model kits. Not all of it good. Mostly having to do with the wings. Accuracy of design? I am not sure about that, but in the end if it looks right from 75cm away, it suits me fine. --John
