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 1:48 Spitfire Mk.Vb Kit #61035
Tamiya kit...say no more. I've been waiting a long time to do a model of an aircraft that participated in "Operation Starkey". (link) I was originally going to buy decals for a clipped wing Mk.Vb, L⦾SH s/n W3320 as seen by [...]
Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire IXc
Tamiya's 1/32 Spitfire (together with their P-51D and F4U) are probably the best aircraft kits ever produced in the scale.
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 [...]

Two kits are presented here. Yet, I had only one KMC set. The Bubble Canopy PR Griffon Spitfire was scratch made using [...]
Blue Spitfire
It seems there’s some debate about whether or not Spitfires on Malta were painted in a one color blue scheme. The information I found online was interesting and I decided that yes, Spitfires stationed on Malta during World War Two were [...]
Supermarine Spitfire Mk. 1a
Today is a very good day because i did and completed what every scale modeller should do at some point: Build a Spitfire.
This is the Airfix Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1a in 48th scale. It is in the markings of 611th squadron in [...]
Invasion stripes: Clostermann's Spitfire
When Hasegawa's 1/48th scale Spitfire Mk. IXc appeared, it was a big disappointment due to the short fuselage that seemed to doom the kit. Yet overall, the kit had a finely engraved panel lines and was easy to build.
Hasegawa's flaw was [...]
Supermarine Spitfire LF Mk.IXe 1/32 Revell
I didn't share with you how I restored the quick-release screws that either disappeared during grinding or were straight-up Revell fluff. Step 1 I cut a wheel of the appropriate diameter from a 0.5 plate, step 2 glued it, step 3 drilled [...]
