Spitfire Mk.Vb, 185 Sqn. RAF, Malta, 1942 – by Tamiya in 1/48th. scale
The defence of Malta; what a stirring story. The only island to receive a George Cross & one of only two collective awards, in this case in April 1942, by King George VI which states:

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.

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.
