Title: Sidetracked again!
Post by: zak on August 20, 2014, 05:14:30 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?

Unbiased judge.

Oh Dave,

Not another 20 points!

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

Kevin.

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 !!!!

Its all smoke and mirrors anyway.

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.

Hi Zak,

Are you 'Morphing' into Bill??

Your building Spitfires faster than they did during the war!

Just because it is goes on water its NOT going to win the maritime comp - at a gues that will be Haddock or as he is called  in our house "Haddock the Hero"

Hi Zak,
I think it is a Spitfire Mk. Vb on Floats, possibly 1/72.

I believe they tried out this configuration in an attempt to provide a floatplane fighter. It never became an actual type in production, though many tests were done.

Am I correct, or just warm?

Correct, an awful offering from PM models.
It will not be coming to the club.
