Supermarine 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 [...]

Revegawa 1:32 Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1

My latest build... The Revell 1:32 scale Supermarine Spitfire Mk.1, in fact it's a "mongrel" Revell parts and Hasegawa parts in one box sold under the Revell brand. Let me tell you first that I do not like Spitfires, nor do I [...]

1/48 Airfix Spitfires

I took these pics to share with a friend who is a Spitfire and Airfix neophyte. I thought I'd post them for you guys too. The fuselage decals on the City of Edinburgh Mk. 22 are oversized, but didn't know it until a year after it was [...]

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

Airfix Spitfire PR.XIX 1/48

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 [...]

Airfix 1/48 Seafire 17 (repost)

I just took a few better pics and posted them. Again, it's a great kit straight from the box. I painted it with Humbrol enamels including my last tins of Humbrol Authentics Slate Grey and Extra Dark Sea Grey. I must have had these tins [...]

Spitfire VB, 315 Squadron PAF

P/O F.Kornicki, September 1941 Kit: Hasegawa 1:32

Spitfire Mk XIV Rhapsody in Blue Rolls Royce’s Spitfire in 1/48

I’ve long admired the glorious turquoise and white scheme that adorned Rolls Royce’s Mk XIV Spitfire in the mid to late 1060’s just before G-ALGT played a supporting role in the epic film the ‘Battle of Britain’. A challenging [...]
