Our Spitfires. Revell 1/72nd

Well, a happy Xmas to all . Here are some pics of a pair of Spitfires my wife and I built. I posted them as I thought it might be of interest to those SWMBO. The kits were Revell 1/72 Spitfires Vb`s, which were basic kits. The fit was not [...]

Eduard's Spitfire Mk.IXc (late) in 1/48 scale, by Tony Prince

The best Spitfire kit in this scale in my opinion. I've built most of them too, from the ancient Monogram Mk IX to Otaki, Tamiya Mk Vs, Airfix Mk IX, ICM & Hasegawa. They have all had their problems; some I could live with & others [...]

Legato 1/72 Curtiss P-40E Warhawk, Tamiya 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop, Revell 1/72 Hawker Hurricane Mk.IIc.

Just a few desert camo RAF aircraft. All oob builds, the Legato P-40 kit was hard work but turned out ok and has a good shape, the Tamiya kit as usual was a dream and the keenly priced Revell kit fitted together really well, happy enough [...]
