Supermarine Spitfire

Review: Border Models 1/35 Spitfire MK.Vb Review

Review: Airfix 1/24 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VIII Review

Royal Australian Air Force Spitfire Mk.VIIIEduard 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 1/72-scale Eduard Spitfire Mk.IXc is a phenomenon. This is my first Eduard kit, so I’d like to give my impressions. As I think is generally understood, Eduard kits are of high-quality: excellent detail, well-molded and engineered, [...]

Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire IXc

Dogfight Double1/144 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

Having just completed the Mk.1 Spitfire by Airfix, i decided to do another one. This is the Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Vb in 1/48th scale. It represents a plane of No. 133 squadron in Biggin Hill in 1942. Decals are from the kit. I [...]
