spitfire Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Great job Mike, considering it's heritage I'm surprised that it's an ignored subject. Cheers Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 It was, but no-longer I'm really pleased to have it in my cabinet now, and it's prompted me to do a Prototype Spitfire/Shrew too - beats building another Mk.1 spit OOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgear29 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Got to say that looks really 1st class build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Gibson Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the kind words guys... enjoyed it a lot, and as my tank project is also coming to an end, I need to think of what next Easy question - Wellsley Nice build Mike. It would be nice to see it photographed beside a Mk I. Dave Edited January 22, 2012 by Dave Gibson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 You're not wrong Dave - on both counts There will be stuff going on along side the Wellesley though... which I'll be getting back to shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 What a beautuful model - well done! I love that propeller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Like I said in your build thread Mike, I totally missed this one. She's a real beaut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haris Ali Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 That's a great looking model Mike. I've overlooked this kit - pretty impressive for a resin model - though I'm sure as much of it is due to the skill of the modeller! Excellent metal finish.

sloegin57 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 You do make some cracking models Mike and that must be one of the best. Most have commented on the prop - finishes it off very nicely - how did you get the laminated wood look ?, pretty please, nicely ?. I've right clicked and saved those pix for reference - Thanks Mike. Your Valiant stalled as well ? so has mine. Wellesley not back on the bench ?. Funny, I thought of the 32nd Wellesley when I found a very large box containing a vac form 32nd Wellington in the loft under some train sets - just after my iMac gliched and forced me to order a Type 224 as well, Sunshine Coast. Funny thing - Computers ! Dennis W Robinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyraider3D Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I like that a lot! Great job on the metal finish. I like oddball designs and this is one you don't see very often. Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tcoat Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) Was reading through this and followed the link to the build thread thinking "oh what an interesting subject wonder how I missed this build". Then I saw the dates! Edited May 21, 2021 by Tcoat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
