More Spitfires

October 11, 2022 · in Aviation · · 10 · 1.2K

Since people are posting Spitfires, here are some of mine (all are 1/48th):

MD-Tis an Airfix new mold Vb as "Buckeye Don"
NK-K is an Airfix Mk.IIa (from the Mk.I kit, Mk.II parts are in the box)
AN-A is an Eduard MK.VIII
And T-B is an Eduard Vc which was built as it has the "Saint" stick figure, a common thread with my builds

Thanks for looking!

  1. All are wonderful, Bruce!
    The more Spitfires the better!
    Welcome aboard!

  2. Wow, these are really beautiful! How was the Airfix Vb, @rbrucearcher?

  3. Having built both the Eduard and new mold Airfix Spitfire Vb, I have noticed the following...

    The Eduard is more complex, with more small parts (bad for my arthritis). It is finely detailed and builds into a beautiful model. The Airfix kit is simpler, less fiddly, and an easier build. It is well-detailed. Surface details are better in the Eduard kit. But placed side by side 1 foot away, you are hard-pressed to tell them apart.

    So if you want lots of detail, and have the patience for the Eduard kit, go for it. If you desire a simpler build and have a very nice model go for Airfix.

  4. Nice work Bruce (but I said that about these before ๐Ÿ™‚ ). Glad to see you finally followed my suggestion about joining the finest model club on the internet.

  5. You are joining this great community with a great set of Spitfires, Bruce @rbrucearcher
    Welcome aboard.
    Looking forward to see more of your builds.

  6. Thatโ€™s a nice collection, very good looking airplanes .

  7. That is about 1/2% of my 1/48th scale Spitfire collection...
    Then there is the 1/72nds and the 1/144ths and 1/100nds ๐Ÿ™‚
