Airfix Spitfire Mk.I 1/48


Recommended Posts

I cannot ever recall having built a Spit....in this forum that statement may be akin to admitting something really really bad.   I am sure I did 40 years ago but somehow I can't remember.   That said I seem to have 4 kits in the stash so I am going to try and build at least one if not more for this GB.

 

First up the Airfix Mk.i tool from a few years ago.

 

Not sure which scheme I will go for probably the No.602 Squadron scheme from the box art.

A bit of paint.

It always looks worse when you blow up the pictures doesn’t it.

 

The carpet monster took the top of the control stick between the first and second picture so I had scratch build.

 

Cheers for looking.

You're moving along nicely there Dave... I don't think I'll be matching that pace when I start mine 🙂 


Thanks Jeroen.  Mrs K has given me a bit of time this weekend to crack on and to be completely honest it’s a very easy kit to put together.

Lovely cockpit, lovely start, good luck with the figure painting, that’s a different art on its own


It is and not one a claim any particular skill at 😳

Where has the time gone?
 

I have managed to do some modelling these last couple of weeks but not much posting.

 

This is where I got to on the pilot.

Apologies for no more build photos but this is the finished article.  Had a few hiccups on the way but I am moderately pleased.
