I finished my first entry in this GB a few weeks ago - the 1/48 Airfix Seafire F.XVII: Since then I have been getting a Lancaster and Buccaneer finished before starting a new kit - I’m getting more disciplined! 😂 Now they’re done I’m able to start my second model in this GB - the 1/48 Airfix Spitfire Vb: I’m looking forward to a more ‘classic’ Spitfire build this time. The folded wings on the Seafire model added a degree of interest (and as a bonus, requires less space to display!) but let’s be honest, the Seafire looks far better with the wings extended - the only option on a Spitfire! The Vb kit also has a much more detailed cockpit, so this one will be built with the cockpit door hinged open and the canopy slid back. Whilst not strictly accurate, I am contemplating building this model with the flaps extended but haven’t made the final decision yet...! I should be able to complete this within five weeks! 😁

I finished off my KP Mk.Vb Spitfire over the weekend. I did start a WIP but then forgot to update it! Anyway the progress since then was mainly painting. This build is pretty much OOB except for the under side roundel is from an Airfix Vb as the kit decals were missing one (even with their correction additional sheet). I did some light weathering, with a representation of the leakage on the belly common in many Spitfire photos. I will try to do better with the WIP in the classic Airfix GB! Cheers Will
