theanorak73 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) these are my latest models to get to the finished stage. i tend to have numerous kits on the go at once and jump back and forth as the mood takes me. on a bit of a break from the big RC spitfire i manged to finish these ones... first up is the old Airfix 1/24 Mk1. built out the box, im not one of these builders that go all out on detail of accuracy, i just build for the pleasure of it and like to aim for a generally all-round good impression of the plane... next up is my attempt at the prototype. built from the newish Airfix 1/48 Mk1 kit. again not 100% accurate but a good likeness... and then a night-fighter. this started out as something completely different but then something just made me spray it black !!! the codes are completely wrong but then I'm claiming artistic license on this one, and my first go at a spinner. not really such a good looking model but then its something i just had to try. hope you like, all comments welcome Edited August 24, 2014 by theanorak73 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thats a nice collection of Spits you have there,.....I do like the 1/24th scale kit with the new markings but the prototype is equally good too! I like the early Mk.I in your cabinet too! Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Smith Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Very nice Spitfires. 111 Squadron flew black MkVb's during 1941. http://www.ipmsstockholm.org/magazine/2006/06/stuff_eng_profile_night_spitfires.htm photos in Spitfire at War 3, though it says no wing roundels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rogers Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 That's the one I had in mind Troy, yes. One of the Spits I've got lined up to be done with the new Airfix MkVb and the Victory Production decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theanorak73 Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) thanks guys, yeah, i knew the night fighter had the wrong markings, it was just something i had a go at.got to be honest and say that id rather go for what i think would look good in the cabinet rather than whats historically accurate, having said that, most of the kits i have in the stash will be done "out the box" with the decals provided. this one, and some of the others you can see on the lower shelf in the cabinet were using kits with old decals that were too far gone to use. thanks for all the good comments, much appreciated Edited August 25, 2014 by theanorak73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) A nice collection & I think your prop spin on the night fighter actually looks pretty effective, well done on that. :thumbup: Question for Troy, did nighter fighter Spits ever wear anti glare plates like the Hurricanes on night duties?
