HK1885 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Hi, Spifire is finished. Built out of the box with markings of 41 Sqn flown by F/L Donald Smith. They are some discussions about the accuracy - I did not compare the model to the plans. For me it looks like Spitfire and... it is the Spitfire. Please feel free to comment. Thanks for looking.

Dreamcatcher Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Very nice job ! The weathering of the Spitfire's bottom might be a bit too heavy imho, but it's very nicely done. Congratulations ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Looks like a Spitfire to me too. I've only just found this because, having ordered one myself, I've been looking at all the Spifire XII builds on BM. You've done a great job, and no comments about the lowered flaps!
