1/48 Spitfire PR.19
This is the new Airfix kit that I built last month. In my opinion, it's their best Spitfire yet. It surpasses the Mk.22/24 and Seafire 46/47s from the 1990s due to better detailing and nicer moldings. Others on this site have gone into [...]

Airfix early Spit....
When this kit first came out I was happy to get an early model Spit with a two blader, my favorite version. It turned out to be kind of toylike, "soft" looking somehow. I dunno maybe my head is soft. The "straight" [...]
1/48 Spitfire Mk.I
This is an Airfix kit finished with Humbrol enamels over Tamiya lacquer aluminum. The roundels are from Superscale. The kit is a bit thick and chunky in areas, but is an easy route to a very early Spitfire. Built with care, it looks the [...]
Airfix 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I (Pre-war)
For my first contribution to iModeler.com I present Airfix's nicely retooled 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I / IIa kit. Since returning to the hobby I've had a few fails and it feels really good to complete something for the display shelf. [...]
