Airfix's Spitfire F.Mk.22/24 in 1:48


Recommended Posts

After finishing my Ta 183 in Argentinian colours, I decided to pull out my Spit F.22/24 and build it as an aircraft I saw in the Strike Witches anime.

It'll be a Supermarine Spitfire M.22 coded DW°N, and painted in a what if camouflage of a darker brown, dark green, sky and a sky/red propeller nose cone.

I'll be posting updates as soon as I can.

 

The boxart:

Sprue shots, with the fuselage test fitted.

 Wings glued with the flaps in the up position. Airfix indicates on step 9 to add piece 24, but after gluing it, said piece resulted in the wings having a gap with the fuselage, so I removed it.

More progress with the Spit: I've built the cockpit and joined the fuselage halves together.

Fuselage taped together. It both halves had a great fit.

Fuselage and wings glued, the gaps were small, so I didn't fill them.
