Supermarine Spitfire 1, 313 (Czech) Squadron RAF

[Tweener]

At last, an RFI thread from Tweener.

This is the tried and (mostly) true Airfix 1/72 Spitfire 1, with decals from AML replacing the kit scheme I'd never have been able to do. Overall the kit is fine, but losing a few small parts during a move and having to try 4 different dark greens before getting a worthy result did plenty to test my patience and kill my interest. Then my family managed to drop it while I was off at Uni, hence the awkward sit of the landing gear after correction.
In any case, it's done. Photos are typically mediocre - I tried 3 different indoor spots before settling on taking them at my back porch. Even these aren't satisfactory, but they're what I've got.
 

 

 

The AML decals are rather nice, if very thin. I have another set of theirs for my Airfix Hurricane, which will be the focus once I finish the Airfix Italian Mustang and PR Hurricane from Heller.
Oh, and the GB Gnat. Who knew red paint would be so miserable?

Onwards and upwards,
Tweener

Ahh, family members and scale models.  I had to forbid my Mother from dusting my models when I was younger.  She managed to break something off every time.  For photos, I just use a piece of folded white poster board with a good light source.  It cost next to nothing and looks really good.

 

PS, good looking Spitfire

Very nice job!

 

I had a row of models on a mantlepiece in a spare room. All was well until my cricket mad youngest decided to practice his catching INDOORS (luckily with a tennis ball). He's normally a safe pair of hands but, suffice to say, that some of Luftwaffe's finest soon found themselves in for minor repairs to radio masts, guns,  undercarriage and propellers! Bless him😡!!
