Alan P Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 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. Very quick build for me, thanks to everyone who supported the build 👍 Alan 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) 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. Please feel free to ask questions, post comments, and or add thoughts using this link to my build.

John Masters Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 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...🤪 The build thread is here... --John 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
