Lican Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Thank you all, glad that you liked my model. Model from Tamiya still need to buy)) Plans to assemble Airfix 1/48 Hurricane Sgt. Josef Frantisek RF-R 09.05.1940 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting point - though I will probably look at the Tamiya Spit when it gets here - why is it that Airfix Mk.I Spits are getting difficult to find? Why are they not marketing it as a cheaper alternative to Tamiya? It is not a bad kit and surely worth Airfix marketing at 2/3 of the price of a Tamiya Spit?

NellyV Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Great looking build! I'm new to the forum, so apologies in advance for any faux pas made as I bed in and let me know if I transgress any rules. I've recently returned to kit bashing since retiring and have an Eduard 1/48 Mk1A Spit in the stash that I was going to complete as N3162. There's some great footage of this aircraft on The Battle of Britain Historical Timeline - RAF Hornchurch Spitfires | Facebook page. Interesting details here, like the numbers chalked(?) rather haphazardly on the spinner visible around frame -4:22 Question: Xtradecal's X72224 1/72 BoB Spit 1A decal set states that the undersides of all 41 Sqn aircraft were sky grey. I'm somewhat dubious about the claim. Anyone else have a view on that? I have completed an Airfix 1/48 Hurricane Mk1A representing P3153, a 56 Sqn aircraft with the moniker "Euthanasia" as seen in this Pathe News film. If I can work out how to do it I'll upload some photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lican Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Good day. Thank you for your feedback. I saw numbers written in chalk, but due to the fact that they are hard to read on the video, I did not start applying them. But this video is very interesting not because Eric's plane is captured, but because there are planes with drawings (head of an Indian, Pluto of the pilot of Ford). It is a pity that the decal manufacturers did not reproduce them. And also there is R6885 EB-A which will also be lost on 09/05/40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 What's not to like? It's a Spitfire; it's in No. 41 Squadron markings, and it's a beaut! I even see the gear down indicator rods! Well done! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
