Airfix 1/48 Spitfire FR XIVe

My fourth iteration of this kit (with one more left in the stash while I try to decide which markings/version to do). Did I mention I love this kit? History: t's a strange but interesting fact that the only "built for that specific [...]

Built two years ago. Because there are a lot of D-Day striped Dakota models out there, I convinced my father to do a PTO aircraft. Revell Germany kit (Berlin airlift) with North Star Models decals. They came without US insignias (and the [...]
