Now that RAF100 has died down a bit and my involvement has just about come to an end, I have a bit of time to do some modelling. I had hoped to do a 1/48 Mossie in overseas colours, but I don’t think I have the time, so instead a Spitfire (or 2). So my my plan is to start with an Airfix 1/72 Spitfire F 22 and use the decals from an AZ Models F 22 to make a Syrian Arab Air Force Spitfire. If time permits I will then do the AZ Models F 22 in the colours of the South Rhodesian Air Force. Just to compare the 2 kits, thi

My sister's birthday is in 10 days, what to buy for her? I have an idea, make her a model kit, the 1/48th Airfix Spitfire F.22/24. You will probably think I have lost my marbles however there is method in this madness (I hope). Starting with the box art, this kit was originally released in 1996 and this looks like the 2004 'rebox': Spit22004 by Ghostbase, on Flickr The obligatory sprue shots, this was just prior to an application of Halfords grey primer: Spit22001 by Ghostbase, on Flickr The kit has three decal versions available, I c

This is the Airfix Spitfire F22 in my local squadron's markings, courtesy of Xtradecal. I also used Eduard seat belts on it. A nice kit, the only problem is the canopy doesn't sit correctly when open. I've kept the weathering to a minimum as I assume they would have been kept reasonably clean. 618 Sqn was part of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force & was formed in 1939. It was an Army Cooperation squadron & went to war equipped with Hawker Hectors & Westland Lysanders. The Hectors & Lysanders were used to bomb German positions & drop supplies to the BEF in the retreat

I am slowly working through my shelf of doom, finishing some kits that should have been binned. This was originaly built in the 70’s by my brother. I got it when he was going to throw it out. It had a fuselage, wings, and a propless spinner, only slightly less than the kit originaly had..... Over the years, I opened up the undercarriage bays, gave it an Aeroclub prop, vacuform canopy of unknown provenance, undercarriage, tailplanes and enlarged radiators from the Spitfire spares box. Highly inaccurate cannon barrels are turned brass by me. Now, if you wanted to do PK312 as it was originaly bui

My first go at posting a work in in progess. Managed to make a start on my Airfix Spitfire F22, forgot to take pictures of the box and sprue but I guess most have seen them already . It actually went together really quickly. Just a couple of days work and its ready for the paint shop! I am going to do the markings for the Cooper Air Race (there seems to be a lot of HSS Spits already done!). Apologies for the quality of the images, found it not so easy to take pictures of an incomplete model! Thanks for looking,
