George Norman Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Here is the Airfix 1/24 Scale Spitfire V, Built OOB, Humbrol Paints. Big of a pig of a kit but got there in the end. Pity the Airfix Roundels were not up to Scratch 586_8698 by Georgeconna, on Flickr 586_8699 by Georgeconna, on Flickr 586_8697 by Georgeconna, on Flickr 586_8696 by Georgeconna, on Flickr 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauls9cb Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 You've made a great job of this huge Spit and it really looks the biz! I've had this Mk 5 kit before but couldn't bring myself to banish the images of the Mk 1 Airfix Spit models I've seen before which never quite seemed to get the wing dihedral right. It may have just been the photography, but I'd earlier built one of the Bf 109 E 1/24 kits and perhaps justifiably jumped to the conclusion that with these older mouldings the tolerances had morphed to a degree that producing a tolerable representation was outside my tolerances. You've managed a great look however and you are to be congratulated. Despite my concerns, I keep one of the Bf 109 E kits on the shelf for some future winter evening when I may convince myself to get stuck back in to make it look the way this large scale kit deserves. You've managed that with your Spit admirably. Congrats. Paul 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugle07 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 That's a cracking finish and build there, well done! Know what you mean about the kit, nothing seems to fit! Calling it a pig feels like an insult to pigs! Geoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
