Sidetracked again!
« on: August 20, 2014, 04:14:30 PM »
Yes, side tracked again I am afraid.
Sorry, its an Airfix Mk1 Spitfire in 1/72 scale.
At least I am doing some modelling again.

I think we are looking for aircraft depicted during WW2 and not either pre or post even though they are thought of as WW2 Aircraft. Or am I completely wrong?

Oh Dave,

Not another 20 points!

Will I get one point for writing my name on my invisible entry?

Kevin.

PS. All three kits look really nice, I'm going to have to get cracking with something...........................
I hope my next is always better

I sincerely hope that all this is just a smoke screen and you're all frantically building warships for the maritime display, if not, words will be spoken !!!!

More smoke and the odd mirror.
I had real trouble with this the transfers fell apart and so I had to paint the invasion stripes, coated the rest with gloss varnish before applying them.
It a different scale, found in my collection, its the Academy 1:48 Mk. XIVc, more or less built from the box.
I do need to add some red bits over the gun ports though.
