basaez.bruno Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Here is my first bird from 2018! A Spitfire mk14 from Academy. It was a fun build.

stevehnz Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 That's a really tidy job on that, you've got a good looking Spitfire XIV on your shelf now. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 While there are some prominent shape errors with the Academy kit, it still looks very much like a Mk XIV when built up and painted nicely, like yours! Is the prop built up of individual blades? They seem to be angled the wrong way, similar to Merlin engined Spits. The prop should rotate counter-clockwise, as viewed from the cockpit… Nice work overall! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
