iModeler Review: Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Vb
In the development of the Spitfire, there is a recurring theme: that outside of the Mk.I, each major sub-type used was actually a “stopgap” design while the “definitive” design undertook more prolonged development. This applies to [...]
Spitfire Mk.IXe (AZ 1/72)
I always wanted to make Spitfire in an unusual painting scheme. So, this one for unpainted look of this famous warbird.
This is a new AZmodel kit in HQT (high quality technology). And I can say that plastic really looks very good and if [...]

This is the 1/48 Hasegawa Mk VIII Spitfire flown by Squadron Leader Lance Wade. Wade was from Texas and enlisted in the RAF in Canada. Being from Texas myself I like building planes flown by Texas pilots. I apologize to you Spitfire [...]
Review: iModeler Review – New Tool 1/48 Airfix Spitfire Vb
Some of you may well be asking why do we need another 1/48 Spitfire? Hasegawa, and Tamiya have both produced excellent kits of the Vb, and there are readily available kits by some of the short run producers - Whether or not any of these [...]

A Real Lady – Airfix 1/48 Spitfire PR XIX
Following the last year's review of the 1/48 Airfix Spitfire PR Mk XIX by Tom Cleaver, this is one of these kits I just had to lay my hands on.
The idea was a simple out-of-the box project with a single-color paint scheme giving a chance [...]
Hasegawa Spitfire Mk VIII 'Hava Go Jo!!' in 1/48
When I first built this kit it was hot off the press & being well & truly bagged on the internet.
I don't usually run a ruler over my models, preferring to the eyeball Mk.1 to gauge accuracy. In this case, the critics were right [...]
D-Day +5. 1/48 Spitfire IXc
Admiring all of your great D-Day builds made me realize that I only have one D-Day aircraft in the collection. Work kept me from posting it until today. It is an Otaki Mk.VIII converted into a "faux" Mk. IX. I replaced the [...]

Spitfire PR.XIX with Xradecals & Ultracast add-onns. Decals, tyres and seat. Brake lines added from wire. My first PRU Blue ever and I tried to built it as almost new and well maintained - therefore weatheing kept in minimum. Hope [...]
