Tamiya 1/48 Supermarine Spitfire Mk I
My first time posting here so I thought I would share one I built some time ago. This is the Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk I with a Cutting Edge resin cockpit. I added some scratch-built details and finished her with Floquil Military Color enamels and Aeromaster Warbird enamels. The Cutting Edge cockpit is a practical drop-in that required just a little sanding toward the bottom of the cockpit sidewalls so that the lower wing would sit correctly.
3 additional images. Click to enlarge.

As Al stated, a nice (and welcome) change of pace for a modeling site. Easy to navigate, post and enjoy.
An excellent little diorama you have there. Good work. I like the attention to the little detail(s).
Looking forward to some of your other builds.

Hi Seamus, as you already know I’m not a big fan of the Spitfire, but to be honest with you this one looks amazing, beautiful scheme and colours. It seems you are changing the way I look at this plane cause I’m starting to like it.
great work!
