Hasegawa Spitfire Mk. I 1/72

One last shot for tonight.
Standing on her own legs and looking spitfire like.

For some reason the Battle of Britain theme started playing in my head as soon as I put her down...

Complete with (badly) hand painted canopy with freehand framing (for added authenticity. Just lacking the fingerprints of last time) Nearly done. A clear coat and some decals and she’ll be ready to take her place next to her (younger) sisters.

And she’s done.

It’s been a great trip down memory lane and nice to just worry about ‘does it look right’ rather than is the camo correct(😉) are all seams perfectly hidden is the paint absolutely smooth etc...whilst this has taken significantly longer to build than that first spitfire (knocked out in a couple of days in front of the tv with a tube of glue, paints and Battle of Britain on the tv) As a modeller I have to say this has been as much fun now as it was all those years ago. Thank you for the reminder that happiness can often be ‘1/72 spitfire-shaped.’ Now if you’ll excuse me I’m off to strafe the cat ‘Takka takka takka takka...’

The cat was suitably unimpressed, the toddler was amused and SWMBO rolled her eyes. 
 

Now I’ll give it a few years and watch Battle of Britain with the son complete with a spitfire to manoeuvre. 
 

Thank you for the support and well wishes, it hasn’t been a ‘perfect’ build but  has been perfectly imperfect and was a lot of fun!
