Rafwaffe Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) This is a placeholder for my build which will be a boxing of the Hasegawa Spitfire Mk.I in 1/72 (originally released in 1975 according to Scalemates).

JOCKNEY Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Great choice Now I remember it, as it was the first time I'd seen a Spitfire kit offer a 2 bladed prop ! Have you decided which version to build yet ? Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafwaffe Posted March 13, 2023 Author Share Posted March 13, 2023 Canopy on. Decided to go with the flat canopy and two blade prop just because.. going to see how the Mr masking sol works when I spray the dark earth. This could work ok or go horribly wrong… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafwaffe Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 And done. one kit no matter how many times I build it somehow the joy of having something ‘Spitfire shaped’ at the end never ceases to raise a smile. That and fond memories of sitting building my first one in front of the tv watching Battle of Britain (over and over…) Thank you for a wonderful GB and for an excuse to indulge my inner 8 year old… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
