Ventora3300 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Beard, I enjoyed these beauts as they were posted throughout the year (and I'm sure there were other Spits to see as well). I'm a confirmed brush man as well so truly appreciate your efforts. Excellent modelling. All the best. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Thanks Mike. I've only finished one other Spitfire but got damaged when a guitar fell on it, I'll get it fixed by New Year though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie(kinda) Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 How do you do it?! That many lovely models in one year. Super work. But (of course) it's the Spits I'm really drawn to. One can never have too many...! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beard Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 Last post in my Yearbook. An AZ Hurricane IV in the markings of 20 Squadron RAF: A Sword P-40K as an aircraft of 14 Squadron RNZAF: An Airfix Beaufighter X converted (using one of the undercarriage closed doors parts) to a Mk21 of 93 Squadron RAAF: A Tamiya Mosquito VI in the markings of 1 Squadron RAAF: A KP Spitfire VC as a plane of 452 Squadron RAAF: An AZ Spitfire VI as one of the two used by 103 MU in Egypt: I'm currently converting an Academy Tempest V into a F.6 but I doubt it'll be finished before the end of the year. Thanks for looking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you and you're right, one can never have too many Spitfires; once the Tempest and (DH) Hornet are out of the way, I'll be back at the Spitfires.
