  1. Turned out well...nice job.

  2. I have this one in my stash. A great kit of the best looking Spitfire created by Supermarine after the recce Mark XIX. You definitely did a great job on this kit! Well done.

  3. Hi Riccardo,

    Not familiar with this Airfix kit per se. Do the clear canopy sections insert into a separate frame? I noticed there's a slight gap where the frame meets the canopy, and a step from the edge of the forward cill and the canopy frame.

    Not being critical of your build, just wondered if it was a 'tick' of the kit that others should be aware of.

    Nice clean paintwork, by the way.

  4. Well done.!
    P.k

  5. I'm building this kit now! Nice job.

  6. Top job, Riccardo.
    Haven't seen a model of the beauty almost without weathering for a while.

  7. A very nice Spitfire, very clean, looking sharp. Good work and a inspiration to start mine.

  8. Lovely Spitfire. Well done. I'm really enjoying my Airfix F22/24 at the moment. These new Airfix kits are very very nice.

  9. Like you say, it's a Spitfire, and a nice one at that, enough said.

  11. Thank everyone for all your kind words and encouragement, 🙂 cheers

  12. I'm a big fan of the Spitfire and have always been fascinated by the Mk 12.
    ust get around to building my own someday.
    Its a question of time and space.
    This is a great rendition of this aircraft.
