Revell 1/32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk2a.XXXXXXFinishedXXXXXXX

[stevej60]

Hi folk's my build will be the immortal Spitfire,think of the few and despite the equally important roll the Hurricane played  the Spitfire comes to mind imediately.The MK2 went into development as soon as the Mkl went into production with an engine producing a higher rate of climb as early as summer 1940 began entering service although the MKl bore the brunt

of the fighting that fateful summer.

My previous build of this kit was the BoB memorial flight's short lived Air sea Rescue scheme.

Pardon the phrase, but here's the First of the Few. Welcome aboard Steve.

[stevej60]

Morning folk's time to cut plastic and start this one,main parts cleaned up and the plan is to get off to a flyer hope to blitz it this week to get ahead as a possible second 1/32 project for this GB might be on the cards.

Good idea to get an early start Steve. I can't imagine trying to get a 1/32 done in 3 months, let alone two. Good luck with both.

Thank's George I've done my usual trick of proposing to many builds fot other GB's about four weeks I hope for this one.

Evening folk's,put aside the wings for now to get the cockpit and sub assemblies built,painted the radiator interior before assembly and primed the fuselage interior etc.

Last job tonight was to spray the interior gray/green I'm using model air early RAF colours on this one.

 

[stevej60]

Morning all,here's where I am as of this morning,hope to maybe have her assembled and possibly primed by the weekend,the wings are fully assembled and drying just a little sanding to 

clean up the seams.

That's looking very nice so far, Steve

[LorenSharp]

Fast  work Steve. This will look the part when done.

[stevej60]

Morning all,masking tape belts added and yet again with this kit problems with that interior,everytime I build one I try a different approach and seem to hit problems on fit.

 

[spitfire]

Nice one, looks good and by my standards so fast.

 

Cheers

Hi folk's well a couple of weeks into the build and nearly on target hope to prime her tomorrow just a little filler on the wing joints to do.

 

[81-er]

That's looking really good, Steve

Thanks James,it can be a frustrating kit at times, this is about the fourth one I've built each one has had fit issues around different areas some might be down to me mind🙂

It can happen I built two Hobbyboss Spitfire side by side and one had fit issues and the other was a dream come true, very strange.

 

Cheers

Nice looking Spitfire.

[LorenSharp]

Wow talk about fast Steve. Great work so far.

[HarryHobbyin]

Steves a machine...you think his build is fast then your realize he's got multiple builds going at the same time  ....its very impressive. 

this build looks great. I really luv his BOB air rescue spitfire paint scheme.

Many thank's Harry,yes sometimes I feel like I'm mass producing kit's, I find trying to concentrate on a single build very difficult and where sometimes kits fall by the wayside I know very few would get done as single

project's that BoB spitfire is one of my favourite builds,here's a couple of other 1/32 Spitfire's Hobbyboss Vb and Revell's Mkix.
