Hi everybody who likes Spitfires. Here is my newest creation, a Spit IXe by Eduard in 1 : 144 scale.

A Beautiful gem indeed and a pleasant work. The only things I had to add are the underwing bomb racks and the mirror.

Great job from Eduard!

You must have the eyes of a hawk, sir...beautiful job! Just think of the display space available if ALL your builds were that scale. 🙂

Hi, Mr. Craig

 Thank you for the appreciation. As I am nearly sixty, my eyes need to be boosted by lens and my hands are shivering. I built only airplanes, concerning the history of the Czechoslovak aviation, both civil and military, with the exeptions as the Spitfires and the airliners, no matter what scale they are. Sometimes I will make  pics of my collection as a whole, total 140 built plastic models.

    Keep flying high!

George from the Czech rep.

  Thanks a lot for appreciation. In fact, I have lost one indeed, unbuild in a bag.

  Thank you for liking it.
  
  The landing strip is sold in my country for approx. one Euro, I have only added some artificial grass and some dirt.
  
  Happy modelling.

Jiri, anyone who can put a rearview mirror on that has my sincere admiration!
I'll remember that when I start complaining about some problem in my 48th scale builds.
Inspirational, show us some more, sometime.

I wish I could see that well in 1/72. Outstanding

Wow, beautiful build especially given the scale, and a great space saver,(I'm with Craig on that). I also really like the markings.

So very nice Mr. Fiala. These are not that easy to make look that convincing. I built a Stuka thinking I would have it done in a afternoon. After all it just a small kit. It took a few days, and I enjoyed it all the way.
Very cool looking. And I also very much like the markings.

Dear colleagues.

  Thank you all for your appreciation. It gave me a real kick. Sometimes I will built something simillar. I have bought a Lavočkin La.5FN in that same scale.
