Spitfire HF VII by Italeri in 1/72
Found this kit in the giftshop of the RCAF museum in Trenton Ontario. Loved the paint scheme of PRU blue under with Medium Sea Grey over, the D-Day stripes, the "B" Roundels, the extended high altitude wings. Had to have [...]
Airfix 1/72 Spitfire IX and Bf-110 C dogfight scene
Hi everyone!
This is my tribute to Air Vice Marshal “Johnnie” Johnson. It is a simulated dogfight between his Spitfire IX JE J EN398 and a Bf-110 C.
I will not go into the history of those amazing planes, as they are so well [...]
Tamiya New-Tool 1/48 Spitfire Mk. I
My dalliance with the Spitfire continued... But I think that will be it for a while. A great kit- engineering and fit are as good as it gets, nice instruction booklet. That said the prototype "bonnet"/upper cowling is a single [...]
Airfix 1:48 Spitfire Mk.XIV
Here is my newly completed Airfix Mk.XIV Spitfire. With the new kit coming out, I decided to re-do the John Wilkinson Spitfire I built a few years back when John was still alive. This is the model I always wanted to build but the 1:72 [...]
Had to use Those Extra Decals
So here’s how my thinking went on this one: I have the Azur Vautour IIN in the stash and I want to do the “blue and sand” Israeli version. But, I wanted to test those colors out first. One of the marking choices in the Eduard [...]

Yes, it's another one boring Spitfire, but I can't resist (by the way, it's my 10th Spit ever built). I've fell in love with this high-altitude fighter in a non-standard grey/PRU blue painting scheme on the box art, so the kit was bought [...]

Here is a little Spitfire, a MkVb, the kit is from Kovozavody Prostejov. This was the plane of Squadron Leader James Rankin, 92. Squadron at Biggin Hill in 1941.
The cockpit, which is fairly well detailed, does not include photoetching. [...]
Stretching a weekend build, Academys 1/48 Griffon powered Spit
Plenty has been written about the failings of this kit and i won't go into detail here beside dropping a Jon Bius quote that i think is fitting for most of us modellers...
'But I believe most modelers just want to enjoy a build. They [...]
1/72 Tamiya Spitfire Mk Ia
Tamiya 1/72 Spitfire Mk Ia. I have had this kit in the stash for quite a while. It was time to build it especially since I did not have a Mk Ia in the collection. This plane was flown by Sqn Ldr Rupert "Lucky" Leigh of No. 66 Sqn [...]
