Royal Australian Air Force Spitfire Mk.VIII – Eduard 1/48
This was meant to be a straightforward build of Eduard's superb Spitfire series - in this case an interesting multi-toned and half-faded scheme from a Royal Australian Air Force Spitfire Mk.VIII.
However, I had significant issues with the [...]
Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire I
Tamiya's new tool Spitfire I was an opportunity to explore the characteristics of early Spitfires. The new tool kit is more detailed and has photoetch parts. I used the instructions and spare parts to upgrade the original 1993 mold. The [...]
US Navy Spitfire on D-Day: Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Mk. Vb
This build starts with a story that I read in the British magazine "Flypast". I had never heard this story, and it was so cool that I couldn't resist building a model to represent the Spitfires in the story. So, first is the [...]
Eduard Spitfire Mk.IXc

The detailing and surface texture are amazing. Engine components details are also impressive although one has to add [...]
Dogfight Double – 1/144 Spitfire v Me109
A real gem of a kit from Beacon Models, and at around £21 for the two aircraft included it's an absolute bargain. There's a surprising level of interior detail for such a small kit, and although almost impossible to see once the fuselage [...]
Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vb 1/48

I [...]
Academy 1/48 Spitfire XIVc and Bubble Canopy
An old Academy mold kit that became synonym with KMC resin set to correct the shape of the nose, rudder and spinner.
Two kits are presented here. Yet, I had only one KMC set. The Bubble Canopy PR Griffon Spitfire was scratch made using [...]
