Keith Lawrence
« on: May 13, 2020, 03:41:32 PM »
The second model for my Keith Lawrence themed build is a Spitfire Ia that he flew while with 234 squadron. Once again the Airfix 48th kit. Fuselage closed up with the only additions to the kit being seat belts and a metal seat as it was one of the very early Mk ia Spitfires.

Hi Kiwichappers,
Very neat building there sir, not a seam in sight!
Loved the last 'Spit' I'm sure this one will match it.
Cheers,

Now all the flying surfaces are fitted. Just a few ancillaries and the cockpit glazing to fit, some masking then it's off to the paint shop.

A disastrous result with Alclad II Mil-Spec paint meant this project has languished for some time. More or less back on track with a recovery plan, today has seen take two of the camouflage applied.

Never mind take two,
It still is going ahead, and I like what I see.
Keep it up Francis, this will be a great model.
