Cookenbacher Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 These were made for the Group Build honouring Edgar Brooks, he will be missed. The build thread is here. The first is a Spitfire 21, made from the 1/72 Airfix Mk 22 kit with the spine and tail assembly from the Special Hobby Mk 21. Next up is a Spitfire XII from the 1/72 CMR resin kit. The third is a 1/72 Sword Spitfire V made into another 41 Sqn Mk XII using the Brigade conversion set. And all three together. 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Laidlaw Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Excellent, Cookie! That 21's a work of art, but they're all gorgeous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Cookie, I've always thought the Griffon Spitfires were all purpose and very little art, if you know what I mean, but yours have turned out really lovely Excellent job mate, Cheers, Stew 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red five Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I wish somebody would make some big 1:32 Griffon Spits. I may have to cut up a Tamiya kit after my Seafire. Look great. Well done. Andrew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beard Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I think I've commented on these three beauties elsewhere but all three look as splendid as I'd expect from you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirageiv Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 A beautiful trio there Cookie! I really like the look of the Spitfire 21, not being familiar with the type however, it looks stunning. The weathering on the camo Spits, in particular around the front fuselage area looks very realistic, gonna go check out your WIP to see how you did that!

keefr22 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Three stunning Spits there Cookie! I'm particularly taken by the 21, the engine cowling looks superb! It's another wip I've managed to miss, so I'm off to have a read of it now! Cracking job! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookenbacher Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Thanks for the kind and encouraging words everyone, they do mean a lot, coming from fellow Britmodellers. Cookie, I've always thought the Griffon Spitfires were all purpose and very little art, if you know what I mean I know exactly what you mean Stew, the XII's do look a little like bullies among the Merlin Spitfires on the shelf, luckily they have Tiny and some XIV's to keep things in line. A beautiful trio there Cookie! I really like the look of the Spitfire 21, not being familiar with the type however, it looks stunning. The weathering on the camo Spits, in particular around the front fuselage area looks very realistic, gonna go check out your WIP to see how you did that! Thanks David, I still have a ways to go to match your finishes. In case the WIP is too convoluted , the weathering is a layered approach of streaks of Future, a thin layer of matt varnish, more streaks of Vallejo Oiled Earth wash, and then light grey-ish chalk pastels. this year is the year of the cookie Cheers Rob, it's almost as good as the Summer of George!
