Adam Poultney Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Is there ever such thing as too many Spitfires? I took these pictures the other day for my modelling Instagram page and that post kind of blew up and is now one of my top posts..... Since people there seemed to like this collection I thought I'd post it on here as well. These models range from the very first one I did with an airbrush (DW•K) to some of my most recent builds (1/48 MkXIV, Eduard one in grey and the early Mk1- k9795- with the yellow edged roundels) earlier builds have pretty horrendous colours and weathering. 35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hi, this is an impressive line-up! And they all look rather scrumptious. Congrats! Plus how thoughtful to keep them warm on top of the radiator... Well done, and do not stop there! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR Thank you The radiator is firmly off for the time being as this room is far too hot without it, and they were only there for the photos. Definitely going to need more spitfires soon... The upcoming Eduard 1/48 Mk1 has some rather nice schemes including one of my favourite variants, the very early Mk1 with the two bladed prop (one scheme is K9795 which I have already done in 1/72) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Very nice collection! Great variety of schemes and versions, and they all look lovely and well built individually. If it makes you feel better, you have just shy of half as many Spitfires as I have Bf 109s, so no, that's not too many Spitfires 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I enjoy seeing other people's collections, whether the diverse airplanes used by an Air National Guard unit or the variety of Spitfire variants there are. Keep up the great work. An already impressive collection will grow to be all the more so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis95 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 These look great mate. Love the Swiss 109 too! Think you should give us a blow by blow of each paint job as they are phenomenal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 It's nice to see so many Spitfires on a window sill. But why do I get this overwhelming urge to find a fly swatter? A swarm of Spits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Only ten Adam???? Of course one can NEVER have enough Spitfires and your ten look superb together. It`s a very nice collection that you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spitfire Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 No such thing as too many Spitfires, and your collection looks great, mine is growing nicely, in my display cabinet I now have 8 and 1 Seafire (all 1/32) though I will soon be starting another a PCM Mk. IX. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve27752 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Very good, it reminds me of my childhood, when I had a large number of models onto of my chest of drawers and a cabinet. I would get home from school and my mum would utter those dreaded words "I have been dusting in your bedroom". A couple of days later spinners would be back on as would aerials and undercarraige! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces High Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Awesome! I've got this dreadful idea that I should make one of every mark... This is only further encouraging that madness... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark4700 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Nice Spitfire collection. Amazing how you have to look past the colour scheme to see that the German one is actually a Spitfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
