1964rac Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Hi, During lockdown, like most of us, I have made a few models, this gave me a change to hone my modelling skills and try my hand at modeling aircraft. Not my normal genre of model making, usual make restoration dioramas, figures & rust vehicles. I have put them all here, to save starting three individual threads. So here they are my three 1/32 Spitfires. Tamiya Revell - "Aces High" Revell MK. IXc clipped wing Stay safe Richard 43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Very well done indeed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Very nice indeed and thanks for showing. One teeny point - was the break out crowbar on WW2 aircraft not just the same colour as the interior and not red which is a post war warbird event? Apologies for pedantry and I "think" I have that rights. If I am a quick wipe over with a hairy stick and matching colour paint would do the trick. really nice work though and my favourite is the desert camo one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Great looking Spitfires, and they will look even greater with bronze green or natural steel crowbars (unless they're modern day warbirds). You can lose that piece of string on the Mk IXc as well – no wire aerials from the autumn of 1940 on, when HF radiosets were changed to VHF sets, with the antenna integral to the mast. Lots of classy modelling on display here! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tamiya & Revell clipped wing will be set in a museum diorama, waiting on the 1/32 figures I ordered to arrive to go with the Spits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnT Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I only know about the red crowbar after a decade or two of painting it red myself. They are all cracking models though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
