Third Time's a Charm, Głowacki Spitfire Vc in 1/72, Airfix A55001

by George Schembri on May 13, 2025 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

I gotta admit that building Spitfires can be addictive as this is my third Spitfire in 1/72 this year. I really like the way this Vc Spit looks with the Rotol Prop (only kit option). Don't confuse this kit with the splendid Airfix kit [...]
