After few days of work, and problems with my next new Airfix Spitfire (missing part in the box! I have to wait for spare part from Airfix. They reply me, and send!) I decided to buy KP Spitfire. Sometime Karma gives you another model than you want to build. KP kit have three different propellers nad spinners, and two options for wings (mark Vb and Vc). If you remember my last KP spitfire I had some problems with main landing gear and so on. I hope in this build will be better! I'm thinking about one of two planes Spitfire: EP706/T@L or AB535/T@Z. I hope it will be a fun build!

KP=Kovozavody Prosteiov from Czech Rep. It's old brand but now They build quite modern short run kits in quite good prices: https://www.kovozavody.cz/
They have large collection of Spitfire. Also another nice planes.

I find that everyday with the Pandemic . . . is a new excitement and an adventure. You roll with it, play a little rope a dope and work around the problem. In my neck of the woods you don't see KP kits this will be interesting to follow Lis.

Nice seat, my friend @lis!

Glad to see you are forging ahead with the KP kit, Lis. I am sure you will do a great job with it. Of course, you will eventually be able to do the Airfix version as well when the part arrives. As a Canadian, I would personally favor Beurling's EP706/T@L. I know it has been built often but it is a richly historic aircraft. Beurling's spectacular career as a hero of the air war over Malta is almost without parallel. He is a fascinating character, so full of contradictions but undeniably a brave and skilled fighter pilot.

Nice work on the seat etch, BTW. 🙂

@tcinla I just wanted to make the Vb version .. By accident I bought this version of the model with the Vc wing option. It was the only one available from this brand in my hobby store 🙂

@coling Irving Kennedy who was flown on T@Z Spitfire was also from RCAF 🙂

Real problem is what color was painted spinner? Manual from Dk decals said that it could be red. In Steave Nichols book Malta Spitfire Aces where I found that pictures i could be black? Deep blue? What do You think?

@tcinla
DK Manual suggest Dark mediterranean blue and azure blue undersurfaces in Irving plane, and Extra Dark Seagrey and azure blue in Beurling plane.

And as usual of high quality, Lis @lis
