Hi all, this is the Airfix 1/48 Seafire FR.47 built out of the box except the propeller blades which are resin replacements by Barracuda.

Build thread is here, it's an excellent kit and flies together very well.

5th March 1936, 4.35pm

Eastleigh Aerodrome in Southampton, a light breeze.

Captain Joseph 'Mutt' Summers, Vickers Chief Test Pilot, strapped himself in to the Spitfire prototype K5054 and flew for 8 minutes.

A legend was born.

Academy 1/48 Mk XIVc.

 

Built out of box except that the markings were mostly painted because the decals suck.

      Hello everyone.... Well #3 is done and I’d like to present my 1/72 Eduard Mk.VIII Spitfire in the markings of W/C Bobby Gibbes A-58-497. This plane sadly crashed while on a test hop after engine maintenance from Sattler strip. At the time was where 457 Sq. was stationed. The engine failed at approximately 100’ ft and gibbes circled and crashed, It burned out and sadly never saw combat. At some point shortly before that Gibbes test flew it with clipped tips to see if the performance was changed. The modification was short lived as upper echelon frowned upon the mod. At which time regular tips were added back. My build represents the plane during the clipped wing test phase.

Eduard ProfilPack, Spitfire HF Mk. VIII, Italy, 1944...an American bird...

 

This was a fun build and being Eduard, almost flawless.  I used the PE some of the time.  Paints are all Vallejo Air and the kit is 100% OOB.  Lot of fun.  Can't say more.

 

Many thanks to the Mods!  I'll try to get another one in by July 13th.  Or maybe 2...🤪
