Picture Perfect Spitfire


Recommended Posts

Airfix's Mk.1a Spitfire in 1/72, courtesy of Aldi for £4. Frame from EBay. Inspiration from elsewhere on here.

Some of the parts have been removed from the sprue and reattached facing the 'front' (I really didn't want to see the pilot's backside...) then everything painted in the usual way. No weathering because it clearly hasn't been outside yet!

Done for a bit of a giggle. Hope you like it...

That looks fun, nice display item, and saves having to do any sanding and filling!

Agree, but cleaning the flash off the parts and the sprue too ages! 😂

I am sorry but is this non built spitfire allowed in this thread....😇....

 

Still like the execution of this idea, well done👍🏻

Try this with a Victor in 1/72..
 

cheers, Jan

😂 Not sure I have enough wall space for a Victor - at least where my wife would allow it 😳!

Different and very well executed - an obvious solution for the Victor: turn it into a coffee table :)
