Shelf of Doom:
Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Mk IXc
This kit has been on my “Shelf of Doom” for about three years. I completed it in response to Roy Sutherland’s “Shelf of Doom” group build challenge on the Barracuda Studios Ready Room [...]
Revell 1/72 Spitfire Mk Vb
What can I say, not a bad little kit.

Built OOB the only additions were a small piece of brass tube for a short shot in the cockpit and scrap photoetch for the rear view [...]

1/32 Tamiya Supermarine Spitfire Mk XVIe

Spitfire Mk.Vb (Eduard 1/48)
New Spitfire Mk.Vb by Eduard in 1/48 scale. I was waiting for the trop version since I saw the sprue of Mk.I last year. And here it is, the first on out of the Eagle's Call dual combo box.
Kit is no surprise – a "standard" [...]
RAAF Spitfire Mk.Vc, 54 Squadron, Darwin, Australia.
Special Hobby's 1/48 kit was the only one of this mark available until very recently, when Eduard announced their forthcoming kit. I had already ordered the SH one & since all my previous efforts at a Vc had been kitbashed by various [...]
Review: Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Vc
The Airplane:
The Spitfire Vc was developed from experience with the Spitfire Vb and began to appear in 1942. Unlike the earlier version, which was essentially a Spitfire I airframe “beefed up” around the engine mounts to allow use of [...]
