Martin Wilson Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 My final build for a while (my wife wants her dining table back.....a bit unfair!!) Spitfire Mk iXc No 416 Squadron RCAF May 1944. Straight out of the box with no extras. I really enjoyed this one and it went together really well with very few problems, other than snapping the undercarriage strut whilst putting the decals on 😤 So had to use the superglue. Hope I’ve done a reasonable job 👍😊 28 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson Duvalier Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I hate to side with your missus, but a 1/32 Spit would be quite an obstacle to pass the peas around. 😄 Nice model, hope you had fun building it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Walter E Kurtz Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) SWMBO'd. I'm sure you can placate her allowing another model to be built? I had to repaint the kitchen cupboards under the following formula. 1 Model (any scale) = 3 kitchen cupboards! A beaufighter, He111, 2 x Jugs, a B17 and a Defiant later.. task completed! She is very understanding..😊 Well it's a very nice model indeed! Thank You for sharing it with everyone!.

Scooby Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Nice build, I served in the modern day 416 (Hornets) so I have a soft spot for Lynx aircraft. I also got to know Stocky Edwards, one of our wartime commanders, who has amazing stories from the war (On VE Day he commanded a formation of 110 Spitfires during a Victory Flypast). He is still with us, living in his own home at 99 years of age in amazing health with his wartime bride! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
