1/32 Revell (Hasegawa) Spitfire Mk.1A K9962

Here is my 1/32 Revell-Hasegawa Spitfire Mk.1a finished with the markings of Farquhar's Mk.1a K9962. In fact this is re–issue of old Hasegawa’s hybrid release (ST14 in 2001) with Revell brand years ago. In this kit, Hasegawa produced [...]

OK, so three votes out of five. It's a 60% majority! "Alice-Jo" of the 332nd FG "Red Tails." An ace of the 325th Fg (whose name escapes me at the moment) told me that they were very upset to find out the 322nd was [...]
